How to Backup Your Site
Why Back Up?
No matter where you are hosting your data sooner or later, something will go wrong. Most inexpensive hosting plans do not include backup; and even if your's does, you should still have your own copy of the data. It's really the only way to be safe.
Where is My Data?
The Web Template site holds most of the data in a MySql database. A few configuration settings are also in two files that you can back up separately. The settings in the files don't change very often, so you needn't worry about backing them up as often as the database.
The files that contain data are:
configuration.php in the root directory of your site. It contains the basic information such as the name of the site, the name of the database and where to access it, and information on how the site can send email.
ue_config.php in the .\administrator\components\com_comprofiler directory of your site. It contains configuration information for Community Builder such as the text of the email messages used during registration.
