Hello

I went through the tutotials and backup section.

I think it talks about the backup on of the database stored in the local drive.

I want to take backup of the database on my website. How to do it. and then how to restore it?

I do have a normal way of database backup setup on my site, is there anything special i need to do while backing up for appgini database?
and then restoring it. Please advise.

Please can someone help?

Hi,
not sure what exactly you are looking for. Usually you should stop your database (or with AppGini you could put it maintenance mode), backup your database and restart your database.
For restore, the same applies.

hi,
can u please tell the procedure to do it.
I want to understand the backup process of the online database.

Uchavi,

Here is a blog link that provides instruction on moving your app to a server. In it there is instructions on using the back up process within the the AppGini generated app:
https://bigprof.com/blog/appgini/moving ... ew-server/
An easy process that essentially automates the back up process that is on the tutorial.

hi kbarrett,

thank u for the link. it was helpful.

however i want to know if i need to know. that is after creating the backup i want to download it to the local drive, how to do it.

I need to create database backup on my local drive.

Hi Uchavi,

You can FTP into your server and download it no different that if you had created the application on your local machine, did a back up and uploaded to your server. When you FTP into your server switch to the directory where your app is located, switch to the admin folder then backup. You should then see an SQL file with some sort of hash file name an a file extension of .sql, download that file. I hope that helps.

In the admin area > Utilities menu > Database backups. From there, you can create a backup with a button click or restore an existing one. You don't need to put the site in maintenance mode first, as this is done automatically during backup/restore. If you want to download the backup to save it somewhere else, you can find it in admin/backups folder.

thank u so much... this iw exactly what i wanted to know.
