A data backup plan and schedule is critical for disaster recovery (e.g. hard drive failure, data corruption). Make sure to backup all important data on a regular basis. If the data is important, then you must back it up!

Database backup

Wordpress has some very good instructions for backup and restore of a MySQL database, using either the mysql command line tool or phpMyAdmin. Please follow these instructions for backing up your Qubit data.

Digital Objects backup

If you or your users upload digital objects, you will also need to backup the files in the /web/uploads (before release 1.0.9) or /uploads (Release 1.0.9 and later) directory on a regular basis.

Translations backup

If you are actively translating the application interface, you will also need to backup the translation files in the /apps/qubit/i18n directory.
