How to backup my website ? And why ? |
It's very important to regularly backup your website because in case of data loss on your computer (crash disk, viruses, errors, ...) you won't be able to restart your website just from the generated web pages published on the internet but only from a backup.
To create a backup file you need to go to the "Start" step of TOWeb and click on the Backup button. Then enter the name of your backup file and enter any additionnel comment about your website version if needed. Now you have the choice to let TOWeb save your backup file to its local folder or to any other location. We strongly recommend you to save your backup file manually on a different disk than your hard drive (like for instance a external USB drive or on CD) in case of a crash disk.
