What's the easiest way to backup a store before making changes like adding a mod? I just download everything in the /shop/ directory to my computer, but it takes a long time and is a bunch of files. Is there an easy way to do it?
Another question is when I'm trying to FTP the backup down to my computer, it will often stop and I get this message: Response: 421 Too many connections (8) from this IP
With my service provider, I just go to my server control panel and select site backup. Their system will backup my entire site and put it in a .zip file and notify me via email when it is ready to download. I keep track of any changes I make and all orders which pass thru the store, so backups are performed usually once a month.
I have an oscommerce site as well. It backs up the site and database everday. In addition to this, I also just make a duplicate of the files I'm working on on my hard drive. Or just backup the entire site on my hard drive.
Backing Up a Store??
