Prestashop backup and upgrade

[Elena P.]

Dear all,

I have recently bought a Prestashop store and I'd need information to upgrade it from version 1.7.7.0 to the latest one.

In particular: can I use 1-click-Upgrade module? Does it provide a backup and restore solution too?

Thank you so much.

Bye.

Yes it does but good practice is make backup manually and first try do upgrade in copy of store.

Hi Endriu.

Thank you so much!

Can I use "Back Up DB" screen and choose a directory for the manual backup? I mean... is it enough?

Thanks.

Yes you can use it. But do a manuall backuo on top just to be sure. Manual backup means create a zip of all files and store it + do a database dump e.g. in phpMyAdmin.

While upgrading you will most probalaby face issues due to outdated theme or module, make sure you have latest versions available and always try the upgrade on a test instance of your shop before doing it on the live shop!

Whatever method you choose to back up your store data and files, the only requirement is that you know how to restore them to a specific location.

So the best method is the one you know how to use.
