Creating Backups

Creating Backups

 

Creating a backup is very simple:

 

1.  Place a check box next to the items you wish to backup (see above section).

2.  Click the "Create Backup" button.

 

At the bottom of the screen you will see a link to the backup you just created.  It will look like:

 

Click Here to Download the Latest Backup - backup-May-15-2003-1.tar.gz

 

At this point you may exit the menu or download the backup to your computer by clicking on the link.

 

Additional Information

 

The backup file takes the form of:

[backup]-[Month]-[Day]-[Year]-[Backup Number].

 

If you created several backups on the same day, they would look like:

 

backup-May-15.2003-1.tar.gz

backup-May-15.2003-2.tar.gz

backup-May-15.2003-3.tar.gz

 

This feature prevents you from accidentally overwriting a backup file.
