A backup of a site is a copy of its content, that is kept on a different web server and may be restored if something happens. This function is rather efficient, because you cannot know if a script update shall not go wrong or if you will not delete something by accident - a file, a folder, a database entry, and so forth. If your site is backed up, it can be restored the way it was until the problem appeared, so there won't be any damage, or at least it shall be very little, dependant upon the particular scenario. Keeping backups on your personal computer is not very feasible, because you would have to do it at least once per day and you could still lose information if your last backup isn't recent enough. In this light, you'll need to rely on your hosting provider, so you ought to double-check their policy on the backups, given that some companies generate backups only once a week, which will do no good if a problem occurs with an Internet site that's being used and updated constantly, such as an online store, for instance.
