Weekly on every plan. Daily backups are a paid add-on. A copy is also saved before each publish, and you can make your own any time.
Can I get daily backups on a plan that doesn’t include them?
Yes. You can add daily backups for one site from your Backups page, for £3.49 a month or £35 a year, and stop at the end of any period you have paid for.
Does a site backup cover my email?

Stop editing, open Backups in your dashboard and restore the copy from before it broke. Or contact support.
