sscardefield Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This seems like a very simple task, but I'm actually curious as well. I have yet to come across a clean, simple solution for a complete backup of both the site and database. I would very simply like to schedule a complete back to run nightly of the entire store, everything needed to restore from nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doulas Akula Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I would also like to learn about this. From my experience backing up all the web files and data does not guarantee the positions of the modules in their respective hooks is guaranteed and I normally have to do some adjustments in back office. Unless I fails to import all the data from the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 1) export database from your phpmyadmin 2) download all prestashop files from ftp just two steps :-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 If you are looking for a reliable backup, check out the following module http://www.prestashop.com/forums/index.php?/topic/55766-module-automatic-prestashop-backup-backup-your-entire-shop-on-the-server-by-email-on-amazon-s3/ You can set up automatic backups in 3 methods, saved on your server, sent via email, and stored on amazon S3 cloud server. This ensures that even if your webserver completely dies, you can still restore the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaniv14 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yes, johnxl - you did everything fine as long as you exported the correct DB. Thats all you need, in case you need to reload you shop, you are good to go with all your prestashop settings (models, hooks etc...) and all your catalog/images.

johnxl Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks! But why exported DB from phpAdmin is so small,only 1 mb ? I have uploaded about 300 product images,each one 50 kb - there must be 15 mb at least ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaniv14 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The DB only hold Schema, Tables name, product name, urls and stuff (basicaly only text) All your images & prestashop files will be in your public_html folder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 you should check this file, maybe you only exported the structure of the database without any data. Here is an example from phpmyadmin: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
