Re: Backup/Restore

To backup your full site including the database:

got o your admin.cgi, ->Database & SQL manager->Backup SQL Database Into Text Files

This will backup your auction or classifieds database to a text files under the data/database directory.

After this you can use any backup tool to backup your whole site.
