dcwebpixie Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Hi, Just wondering something. When you backup the database in the Admin Panel, does this actually save ALL of the product images and details/content? I know you can save it then to your hard drive. So for instance after I am done entering in all of my products and their images and descriptions, I should do a DB backup? Then, if something unfortunate happens I will have the backup and can somehow reinstall it? I am not a database person and so I just wanted to make sure of what it actually backs up. Thanks so much!!

Image calls are stored in the data base. Images as objects are not. When you back up via FTP your entire site to your local drive, the data base backups are in your (catalog)/admin/backups folder. Open your SQL file in a text editor to see what it actually stores. jon It's all just ones and zeros....
