Inside Blogger, you get a different option of Theme Backup, so that you can back up the theme of your website. It is very important to back up the theme of the website. Why whenever you add something inside your website or make some changes in it, it may be that your theme does not work well or you have made changes, do not work well or your theme works Stop it or else it may be that your website is not well open and when you want to correct it again, it will not be right. But if you had backed up your theme before adding something to the theme or making some changes, then you just have to restore the backup of your own theme and your theme will be back as soon as possible.

With contact backup, you can backup all your posts, pages and comments on your website. And you can restore them again whenever you want.

Apart from this, maybe hacking your website or blogger and deleting all your posts and pages. So what will you do after that? You wrote all your posts with such a great power and how much time you spent writing them, and someone comes and deletes them. Now if you rewrite all those posts and pages, then you will have to work hard again and all of them will take a lot of time. But if you have already backed up all of your posts and pages, then by restoring that backup you can come back and get all those posts and pages back to your website. Apart from this, there are many other reasons where you may need a need for a backup. So you should definitely take a backup. You can take a backup once a week or even once in a month.
