A backup of a site is a copy of its content, which is kept on a different server and may be restored if something happens. This function is rather effective, considering that you can never know if a script update shall not fail or if you won't eliminate something by mistake - a file, a folder, a database entry, and so on. When your Internet site is backed up, it could be restored the way it was prior to when the issue appeared, so there will not be any damage, or at least it'll be very little, dependant upon the specific scenario. Keeping backups on your PC isn't very feasible, simply because you'll have to do it at least once every day and you could still lose info in case your last backup isn't recent enough. In this light, you will have to rely on your website hosting company, so you need to double-check their policy on the backups, since some providers create backups once each week, that will do no good if a problem occurs with a site that's being used and updated all the time, like an online store, for instance.
