Hello,
I'm looking for MODX documentation on how to backup, then restore an entire MODX website.
I found
http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/databackup, but this seems to be for a database.
I think I need the whole website backed up, so a restore will bring back the exact website.
Any help please?
I am looking at different ways of backing up and what's easiest and/or most efficient.
1. FTP: FTPing the www.domain.com/www directory seems to work, but takes ages.
I haven't tested a restore or git management of the files.
2. MODX: I thought MODX might offer a backup, which seems the most direct method to me?
Can't find any documentation of paths on the Dashboard to backup or restore.
3. CLI: $ sudo wget -r www.domain.com, is blocked by the webhost.
Access sometimes, but unreliable. Also doesn't seem to pull the database, just html pages.
4. Webhost: The webhost offers a GUI to select a few options to backup.
Backup works, but restore doesn't seem to work. Also the files aren't git repository friendly.
