Database Backup  



Introduction

The database backup tool allows the store owner to make backups of the stores database, including all customer and order information. It is recommended that regular backups of the store are taken in case of problems with the store. There is no tool on the adminstrative section to automatically make backups, and it should be known that many hosting sites also do not make regular backups of this information unless explicitly asked.

Note: The backup directory needs to be created by the store owner and given the permissions of 777 to give the webserver write permission for that folder.
