Here are some examples why to make backup's: - Joomla sites gets hacked. This happens alot, i know. I got 6 sites and 2 of them have been hacked, several times. The joomla community tries to fill the security holes allt the times and they are doing a good job. But still new holes are exploited.
- Fast way to set up a new joomla site. I keep an clean install of joomla as a backup, and when i set up a new site i just use that backup to fast get it up and running. Way faster then to put all the joomla files up with an ftp.
- User misstakes. If you set up a joomla site for a customer (or friend) that isnt that good with joomla, they can easily mess up things. An backup is a easy way to restore what has been "destroyed".
There is a terrific extension out there you should have. It is called JoomlaPack. Easy, fast and clean. I love it.
