Backup and Restore

Learn how to securely create a backup of your content and later restore it in case of a mishap.

Creating Backups

CourseLit stores all of its data, including media and database files, under a single directory on your server. The location of this directory is the same one which you specified at Step #4 of the installation wizard. The default location is ~/courselit-data.

You can simply take a backup of this directory on your server using any tool. Once the backup is created, you can download it or store it on some server.

Restoring Backups
