Backing up MyHobbySite

[cfmoran]

Okay. So, seeing this scared the crap out of me. I was praying that all MHS sites weren't screwed again. Thankfully, it's not the case.

So now, I want to make sure I'm covered in case it happens again. Exactly what files/folders should I back up? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm the same. I logged in to my MySQL database but have no idea what i'm doing lol Would love to know what to save/how to save? (especially if there's something to back up all screenshot info). I save all my screens in a folder as i'm making them but after the last hack it took me months to re-add them to my site as I had to do it show by show. Hopefully there's an easier way as I really don't want to have to do that again if something ever happens.

From your FTP server, to back up your screenshots, go under Modules > Recordings > Public > Images and select the audio and video folders. That's where the artwork and screenshots are located.

Log In op your :

MySQL ( with your own inlogname and pasword) created when you started with MHS

Choose: Select all in the first screen that comes up by clicking up the word select all.

Choose: Export by clicking on it

Choose: underneath the screen what comes up, compressed or not.

Hit start, the file will be downloaded and saved on your HD ( this file is also needed when a backup needs to be put back)

for those wanting to back up, like posted above for the screenshots etc .
to make a backup of the site log into your account.
top right hand of the screen once you are logged in will be your site name - click that
another menu will open showing logs . mhs modules etc etc.
along the top of this are the following options
Structure
SQL
Search
Query
Export
Import
Operations

select export and use the select all option.
make sure the SQL option is selected and at the bottom of the page
is were you save your file which looks somethign like this.
Save as file File name template1 : ( remember template )
Compression: None "zipped" "gzipped"
put a tick in the box to save file and select go on the right hand side, you file will then after a few moments download.
select your distination and save.

hope that all makes sence

I think that depends on what hosting use or version of MHS maybe, I guess these steps are for users of MHS hosting. I use other hosting and beckup my site with ftp server for files and in cpanel-phpmyadmin for beckup of database.

OK guys, I'll describe how to backup your MHS site:

1. Open your host Control Panel (in my case it's cPanel)
2. Go to Datebeses and hit on phpMyAdmin



3. On the left select your data base (in my case forka2k_mhs)



4. On top there is menu, select Export



5. Select the "Go" button and the backup of your date base is downloaded on your computer. Save this file somewhere safe



Now the FTP part:
1. Login to your site trough FTP program



2. Select all files and folders and download them to your computer and save them somewhere safe. You can skip some folders, as in my case, because this folder is not part of MHS and I don't need to backup.



That's all
