Can I create my own database backup?

You have the option in the hosting.fr client interface to set a custom restore point for a web space, in addition to automated backups. This can be useful, for example, if you want to experiment with a new CMS or plugins. We explain how to create a custom backup below.

Attention: If you use a CMS like Joomla or WordPress, a backup of your web space is generally also necessary in these cases. Restoring only the database is generally not enough to restore the original state.
Please refer to the appropriate support articles for managing your web space backups.

• Select “Products” in the menu on the left.
  
• In the “Products” menu, select “Databases”.
  
• Under the corresponding database, select “Show details”.
  

• Go to the “Backups” section and click “Create a backup”.
  

• In the “Backups (manual)” section, click “Overwrite backup” to set a manual restore point. The last manual backup will be overwritten. Backups automatically created by the system are not affected.
  Even if you have not yet created a manual backup, please click “Overwrite backup” at this point.
  

• Name the restore point and confirm the creation of the backup by clicking the Save button.
