Go to System → Data → Backup
backup process execution depends on your AbanteCart data size as well as your server virtual memory size: |
if the backup fails on the compressing backup to archive step (cannot to pack) you can try to backup without Compressing option so backup files will be in the /admin/system/backup/ directory and you can upload it manually via FTP or hosting panel file manager |
All Backup files are located in the Admin → System → Logs → Install/Upgrade History section and saved in .tar.gz archive format. To extract tar.gz file, upload it to your PC then open using archive software for example free 7-Zip and unpack. |
If for any reason the built-in backup is not working for you, you can use the standard way to back up code and database. There are 2 steps in the backup and you need Linux shell access:
Backup code using tar and gz command line tools.
cd /your_webdirectory
tar -cvpz backup.tar.gz *
Create database export.
mysqldump -u database_username -p[password] database_name --opt > filename.sql
cPanel backup is not AbanteCart related. Below information is for general information purposes only. |
You can create a backup of your site quite easily. Account backups can be performed using the cPanel → Backups functionality in your hosting account.
Additionally, you can use the standard way to back up all files and database. There are 2 steps in the backup and you need hosting cPanel access:
In order to backup your files, you should download all the files from your public_html folder to your computer using your favorite FTP client. After that, you can easily upload back the files to your hosting account and your website will be restored.
Once having all the files on your computer, you should make a dump of your MySQL database. Access the phpMyAdmin tool available in your cPanel. You can select the database that you would like to backup from the Database menu (located in the upper left corner of the page). In order to proceed with the backup click on the Export tab.
