Backup DB & PS files - automated, and scheduled... and possibly free?


Recommended Posts

Personally, backup from hosting side is a 'better' option.

 

This takes a lot of the 'guess work' on how to restore, i.e. no FTP PhpMyAdmin access etc.

 

Check what your hosting plan default back up is.  Investigate ease of restoration.

 

Then if not satisfactory look for 3rd party solution like Presto-Changeo.

until you look at capability of your hosting, you won't know how to compare to 'other' solutions.

 

and I have a bit of experience with site back ups....this is why I prefer hosting solution.

 

Please let us know which way you go and why.

tip: if you look for module solution, make sure that if you back office is not accessible, that you can restore from the module back up without access to module from back office.  This is probably why I prefer hosting level capture/restore.

oh, gosh no, but thanks for asking. :)  These things seem easy to explain but it's difficult to communicate, probably if not possible to solve yourself is to get someone who can log into your back office and take a look.  Best of luck and happy sales.
