This article doesn't cover backing up your user files, but only the Web File Share installation which includes the user settings, WebLink information, metadata, file comments and any other data the Web File Share users might attach to the files and folders.
There are two parts to a complete back up of your Web File Share installation:
If you are using a hosting service, you most probably have a MySQL database backup option in the hosting control panel. It should help you download an “.sql” file that contains the database' structure and data.
If there isn't a dedicated backup option, there is most probably “phpMyAdmin”, which is a tool for managing MySQL databases that you can use to make the backup.
You will need SSH access to the server or direct access to the server's command line prompt.
cd /path/to/Web File Share/ Web File Share> mysqldump --add-drop-table -h localhost -u mysqlusername -p databasename -c > Web File Share.backup.sql
Replace “mysqlusername” and “databasename” with the actual names. You can find them inside “system/data/autoconfig.php”. You will be asked to enter your MySQL password. Type it and hit Enter.
This is simple as making a duplicate copy of the Web File Share installation folder. You can use any method (FTP, SSH, or the hosting control panel file manager).
