Manual Backups

Sometimes you don't have the ability to do a backup via the control panel as described above. Below are the list of folders that the backup zips up for you automatically. Making copies of these folders will give you a complete backup of your site.

/data/
/uploads/
/plugins/
/theme/ (although, really you only need your active theme)

If you use a language file other than en_US.php, then you may want to also make a copy of the /admin/lang/xx_XX.php language file that you do use.
