Backup module for database and files

[pieterb]

Hi everybody,

Unfortunately, I'm not a coder, otherwise I would try to build it myself. But I tend to feel a lot safer if I have backups of the sites that I make. And not just the database (perfect admin tool), but also the files. Users tend to add a lot of images, PDF files and other stuff. So is there an easy way to create a backup script that not only backs up the database, but also backs up all files and puts them all together in one zip file? I've searched the forum, but couldn't find a tool to do just that.

Why don't you use your FTP Client for Backups?

That is what I do now, but it would be so much easier to do it from the backend of WB. Then I don't have to have the FTP information ready when I want to make a backup and, since I have made quite a couple of sites using WB, it takes a while to find all the correct info.

You could just load a copy of OPENRSM CloudBackup onto your server....  I'm doing that on a bunch of my WB sites right now and it works just fine.
