Database Backup :: The database backup tool allows the site owner to make backups of the site database, including all customer and order information. It is recommended that regular backups of the site are taken incase of problems with the site.

• Backing Up :: To backup the site database click on the backup button. This will present the site owner with some choices.
  • No Compression (Pure SQL): This will create a file in the backups directory without any compression.
  • Use GZIP: If Gzip is available on the server the site owner will be given the option of compressing the backups to conserve diskspace.
  • Download only (do not store server side)*: If this option is selected a backup file will not be created on the server but will be downloaded to the local computer.
• Restoring a backup :: To backup the site database from a backup click on the restore button. If you have stored the backups on the webserver you can click on the filename once and then clicking the restore button. If you want to restore from a backup stored on the local computer press the restore button at the botton corner of the screen. This will then allow you to browse to the file where the backuip is stored.
