Site Back Up

[Securfocus]

Ok, I have tried the search feature and looked in the most common places it should be, but what is everyone using to backup there site?

My site is small, and I use godaddy file back up, but that is not very automated and is time consuming....

Is there a module I could install in zencart, or do most people use 3rd party stuff?

Thank you in advance.

if your file dose not change that often ( not installing modules ) then you don't have to backup your files all the time . it is recommended to back up your Database on a daily basis .. there is a module written by DrByte that backs up your Database from admin as well as allow you to restore .
you can find that in free add on section .

makes sense!

I'll grab the database back up!

Thank You!

The description reads "can't use on godaddy."

I just used the export function through phpMyAdmin, that basically does the same thing im guessing? if anything were to go wrong I could just import it again ya?

Thank You!
