The Need for Backup
You should back up your database regularly so that you can recover your data if necessary. Databases or tables can be damaged accidentally by hardware failure or human error. A disk crash, power failure or surge, operating system bugs, or system crashes, for example, can destroy or damage your database or tables in it.
