Total Website performs regular backups on a daily basis for emergency use, but we cannot be held responsible for any lost data files, email or other.

On-Going Account Data

  1. The System will store data of your website, SEO information, or eNewsletter content as long as your account is current and active.
  2. If data is removed (User deleting website files, databases, newsletters, etc.) the system will remove the data permanently from the primary servers immediately. The same data will be present in our backup systems for 7 days, after which it will be removed from all our systems.
  3. Restores can be made providing the data was available at the time of backup, at an hourly rate of $115 per hour. If there is a system or hardware failure on our part, a restore will be done for no charge.
