Backup

WebYep saves the texts and images entered and uploaded by the users in a folder on the server. Although your provider should create backups of your whole website every day, it is a good idea to create backups of the WebYep data by yourself.

Where does WebYep safe its data?

When looking at the files of your website on the server (by connecting via FTP) you will find a folder called "data" inside the webyep-system folder. In this folder WebYep stores all texts entered or images uploaded by the users.

To create a backup simply download the whole "data" folder.

How do I restore data from a backup?

1. Remove the whole webyep-system folder in the server (if data was lost or distorted chances are that the webyep system was damaged also).
2. Reinstall WebYep (see Installation on the server).
3. Replace the "data" folder inside the webyep-system folder on the server by your backup copy (e.g. by removing the folder on the server and uploading the backup copy).
4. Activate WebYep again (see Installation on the server).
5. When accessing you website you might have to reenter the license code.

Be sure to use the same version when reinstalling WebYep - not all versions of WebYep are data compatible. You can check the installed version by accessing the WebYep status info page:
