    • back - up

    Posted by kalamate posts: 11

    Heya...

    I have a question...

    I would like to back up my site onto my own harddrive (the database files and what not) because my host has been having a lot of issues lately.

    I have NO idea where to even find the databases that tiki is stored...

    Also, is that all (along with the basic tiki files and folders) I need to save?

    If I were to move to another host, would I have to set it up all all over again from scratch? or could I install it and then just replace all of the folders with the ones I backed up?

    Sorry... just a bit confused... frown

    Hi Jen

    You need to get a dump of the database, this can be done through phpMyAdmin.

    To backup the site, you need the database, and a copy of the file tree. Or just the modified files at least. plus some special directories like img/wiki_up.
    Its probably best if you copyed the whole tree just to make sure.

    To install then, just upload the tree somewhere and import the database. Some hosting providers TikiFriendlyHosts will do the whole process for you winkwink
