Daily Checklist

[BlindSide]

Any serious site used for commercial purposes must be looked after and cared for, just like a physical storefront business. At a minimum...

• Check here regularly for updates and secruity fixes
• Actually install the new releases when they come out
• Run backups on both the DB and store files as often as possible (I do one every night).
• Maintain a backup history of at least 30 days, ensuring you can retrieve an old version should you get hacked and not be able to determine the intrusion date.

Yes, all the things you spoke of are true, but I am betting that seasoned Zenners have a particular routine they use to get the day started, much as a storefront business would, but in the cyber sense. Any inside tricks would be appreciated I know by new zenners.

You are talking to a seasoned Zen cart vet, and those are the things I do on a regular basis. I also optimize my tables with overhead when I am in phpMyAdmin, but don't do so on a strict schedule.
