Backup Site Brander Files

This function will backup all pertinent Site Brander files to a zip file.  Once the Zip file is created, you can download it to your local workstation for storage.  

It is a good idea to backup your Site Brander files before making any changes to the site.  That way, if something goes wrong, you can always reload the files to restore the site to the configuration before the changes were made.

If you need to replace a file from a previous backup, expand the Zip file on your local workstation and then use the Upload and Delete function to replace a file(s).  When you upload a file that already exists, the uploaded file replaces the current file on the web server.

To backup and download files:

1. If the Site Brander main menu is not displayed, click the Features List link at the top of the current page and then click the Site Brander function in the Administer list.
   The Site Brander main menu will be displayed.

2. If you want to change the organization to be edited, choose the organization from the top drop-down list.
   The page will be redisplayed with the respective Site Brander main menu for that organization.

3. Click the Backup Files to Zip File link in the Site Brander main menu.
   The system will compress the files to a Zip file and will display the Backup Site Brander Files page.  The page contains a list of all backed up files and their uncompressed size.  The name of the Zip file created is displayed below the list.

4. If you do not want to download the Zip file, you are through with these instructions.
   It is recommended that you download the Zip file to your local workstation so that in the event that you need to replace a file, you have the backup available.

5. Click the Zip file name link to start the download process.
   The File Download dialog box will be displayed.

6. Click the Save button at the bottom of the dialog box.
   The system will display the Save As dialog box so that you can indicate where to store the download file.

7. Navigate to the folder in which you want the Zip file stored.
   If you already have a backup Zip file in the folder, you can replace the old file with the new or you may want to add the date to the current file so that you can keep multiple backup files.

8. Click the Save button on the Save As dialog box.
   If you are replacing an older backup file, the system will ask you to verify that you want to replace the file.  If you want to replace the file, click the OK button on the verification message box.
   
   The download process will begin and when through, the Download Complete dialog box will be displayed.

9. Click the Close button on the Download Complete dialog box to close it.

10. Click the Done button on the Backup Site Brander Files page to return to the Site Brander main menu.
