Surely in the process of operating and using the website, the data backup is always the top issue that needs to be noted. Backing up your website data regularly helps you always have the best backup plan in case something bad can happen to your website.
In the process of using, your wrong manipulation of data deletion or error or passive error from the service provider can cause your data to be lost and cannot be restored. For Shared Hosting services, most service providers will have backups of the most recent days so that users can easily restore them if needed.
