A backup of a site is a copy of its content, that is kept on a different server and may be restored if something happens. This feature is very efficient, because you can never know if a script update shall not go wrong or if you will not delete something unintentionally - a file, a folder, a database entry, and so on. When your website is backed up, it may be restored the way it was prior to when the problem appeared, so there will not be any damage, or at least it shall be minimal, based on the particular situation. Keeping backups on your PC isn't very feasible, because you'll have to do it at least once a day and you could still lose data in case your last backup is not recent enough. In this light, you'll have to rely on your web hosting company, so you have to double-check their policy on the backups, given that some providers create backups only once a week, that will do no good if a problem occurs with a site which is being used and updated all the time, like an online store, for example.

You will be able to see the timestamp for every single backup within the account, so you can use the one you need.
