<b>Your backups got shorter</b>

Heard this week: a managed host trimmed automated backup retention on standard plans, cutting the restore window and framing it as 'optimized storage policy'.

This one bites at the worst possible moment. Shorter retention means a compromise or bad deploy discovered two weeks late has no clean restore point left. A source tells us one platform quietly dropped daily backups from 30 days to 14, with the longer window moved behind an add-on.

Unconfirmed how many hosts followed, but storage is a soft cost they love to squeeze.

Watch this: check your actual backup retention in the panel, not the marketing page. If it shrank, set up an independent off-site backup today, because the cheapest insurance is the one you control.
