Recommended Posts

your database is was makes oscommerce tick ie when u add a product it gets stored in the "database" so if you back database up and then your database buggers up or you want to move hosts all you ahve to do it re upload the database and walla site is back how it used to be.

 

When you add products, Change info add customers etc its all stored in database. Not in files.

 

So back up regulary (ie once week or so)

I didnt have any freakin links in my sig!!! Pm me for help any other things ;-) There!

difference between backing up database and files using FTP

 

2 different things completely, research google, if you plan to run an online shop your customers should know the person behind it all understands it all as well, wouldn't you think?

---Margaret Mead---

 

"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

--Ken Kesey"
