How do I make a backup of my site?

This will depend on your host, but generally you should have access to phpMyAdmin. From phpMyAdmin, choose the database that Joomla uses, and select Export from the menu. Choose Save As File. This should then result in the download of a file with all the information to recreate the database. This is the content of your site. For the backup of the Joomla files with all the installed extensions, you will have to zip up the entire file system under your web root folder. In the case of an emergency you can now restore all the files plus the database. There is also available components that can make this process easier. |
