raywaldo Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 The Backup instructions at https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Database_-_Backup cover several methods for backup. But there is some missing data: Method 3 - Using TNG’s internal system Quote This method is launched from within TNG. Go to Admin > Utilities Click the Select All button Select Backup from the With Selected pull down list Click the Go button. Save a copy: You should save a copy of the TNG backup on your local computer, in the event that your site is wiped out and your hosting service is not able to recover your data. The instructions (wisely) suggest that we save a copy to our local computer. However, there is not an option (AFAIK) in the TNG(v.11.1.2) interface. But this section of the WIKI does not state WHERE the data is so that it can be saved offline. I searched in the files and the only place that I found was in the TNGUPS folder where there are some *.bak files but no information whether these will backup the entire system or not. Could someone who knows about this add a bit of guidance to this area of the WIKI? Even better, could the TNG interface include an option (with the Backup / Restore ) to SAVE to: location? Thanks. P.S. Is it permissible to cross-post this into the suggestions Forum? Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhemph Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ray, In the Admin panel, you go to Setup -> General Settings -> Paths and Folders to see where you have the backups defined to save. The Backup Folder is the option where you can change the folder name you want the files saved to. Then you just need to FTP them from your site to your computer.
