Is It Necessary To Backup The "uploads" Directory


Question

Posted

Hello,

 

On top of the database, is it also necessary to backup the "uploads" folder? as there appears to be some data in there relating to support tickets (attachments it seems) along with the invoice logo. So if I were to restore the database only, would the attachments and invoice logo not be missing?

 

Thanks!

I would backup the folder, if you want the support ticket attachment, invoice logo, downloads manager files, etc.

 

Make sure you BACKUP the config/blesta.php file.

Ah, the config/blesta.php file also; I hadn't realised that was also necessary, but I can see why. I'm trying to cover all bases for a disaster recovery. Thank you for your response. :)

Without config/blesta.php, nothing that is encrypted in the database will be recoverable. Blesta's database backup backs up the database only. You should at a minimum store your config/blesta.php config file on your computer. We recommend backing up all files and the database prior to any upgrade/downgrade but having a normal backup procedure for your files, and uploads directory is recommended as well.
