Re: How do you back up cmsms?
Take a mysqldump of the database that is used by cmsms and save that into your uploads folder
then download every single file of the cms install and everything below it.

I suggest taring it up first and then download the tar file.calguy1000 wrote: then download every single file of the cms install and everything below it.

I use the Backup Module, but it does need to be run manually...

Re: How do you back up cmsms?
Two further questions about that:
1) What about file attributes? If I download the files via FTP they are lost. What am I missing? If I tar the whole package, will the file attributes be stored as well?
2) What about PHP-generated content like installed modules or image gallery content? I can't download these via FTP because I am missing the authorization (user php (wwwrun). Is this resolvable with taring as well?
Thanks

Re: How do you back up cmsms?
I found out the answers to my questions by now:
1) Nevermind that. The only permissions that are important are those that you set during the install procedure. Just upload the backup and go through the install document for the permissions to be set
2) This seems to be a more widely spread problem. Setting the umask in Administration -> Global Settings to 018 _before_ uploading pictures might help. Another way would be to use chmod on the uploads folder.
Whew, that felt schizophrenic...
