Christine35 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hello, I have all the forums set up and would like to make a backup before the start. The Forum is self-hosted. How do I do that? Can I set the number of times a backup should be made? Daily, Weekly... I can't find a setting. Thanks Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meddysong Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'm not aware that there is a setting. The typical way is to do it via your server. You can use something like phpmyadmin to manually download the database (which is what I do prior to upgrading) or set up something called a cron job to have the process automated: Your hosting environment ought to have some means of backing up your files.

Provided you are using cPanel on the server there is a function to backup your database(s). Using phpMyAdmin is not reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
