Why to Restore Blogger From Backup?

Before we work on our tutorial, it is essential for everyone to learn why he should be restoring his blog through Backup. Following are the few meaningful reasons we collected while experiencing blogger for more than 5 years.

• Blog Deleted by Blogger: Your blog is owned by Google which means you are not the lone administrator of you site, so Blogger can delete your blog if you violated the content policy. In this situation, you may not get your .blogspot.com site back, but if it is hosted on .com domain, then you might have chances of recovering it. If not on Blogger, then with the help of the backup you can restore it on WordPress.

• Hacked or Malware: Sometime websites catch malware attack. Most people are not code-friendly, so they cannot remove the malware or the hacking script injected into their site. In this situation, they can use the backup to restore their site to the normal conditions.  

Still these reasons are limited to some extent because it could be anything that we may have not experienced it yet. If anyone has something to share, then feel free to share it by commenting below.
