Already, the backups have been of great use. With dynamic websites, customers can have access to administration panels, add content, manage their shop catalogue, add photos to their photo gallery, or send emails to their mail list. From time to time, even with appropriate documentation and instruction, customers can accidentally make pretty significant mistakes. I certainly have made mistakes myself. With access to daily backups, these occurrences are much less stressful.
