How to Create a Backup of your PHPFox
Updated on Dec 18, 2015
It is always considered as a good practice to generate backups of your website on a regular basis. However, it is a MUST to create such when performing changes on your website. This way, if something goes wrong with your website, you will have a working point that you can restore immediately and get it up and running again.
To create a backup of your PHPFox website, you need to:
Step 1 Backup files
The first step of the process is to generate a backup of your PHPFox files. To complete that, first locate the directory, where you have installed PHPFox. This is usually the public_html/ directory of your account, but this location can be different if you are accessing your website via a subdomain or subfolder.
Download Files
There are two ways of downloading your files to the server - using an FTP client, following our FTP tutorial, or downloading them directly through your cPanel account > File Manager, following our cPanel tutorial.
Step 2 Backup database
To create a backup of the MySQL database used on your PHPFox website, you need to log into your cPanel account, locate the Database section and click on the phpMyAdmin service.
Click on the name of the database set on your website.
