Automated Backup
Backup helps you to keep your store data in safety and prevent its possible loss or damage as a result of some operations.
Automated Backup and Script Execution options allow to perform database backup and run SQL script according to the schedule configured in advance.
It helps to make copies of the store data in a certain period and keep your data from failure.

In order to configure Automated Backup of a database in the first time, press [Create or Modify Configuration] and launch the simple backup process (see the point about this here).
In the last step save configuration by clicking the relevant button, as shown on the illustration below.
If there is a previously saved configuration you can, in the "Backups" tab, select it from the drop-down list and click [Run Backup] button to launch the process.
This process takes some time. You will see the notification at the bottom of the window:
Now you can add backup to the scheduler, using the corresponding button on the toolbar.
Please note, to be able to perform that you should have the administrative rights in Store Manager. In the timeline form choose the specific period: weekly, daily, monthly, yearly or at once; set the operation time; the day of the week or specific month.
If necessary, at the bottom of the form select the fields on task repetition. Choose the position the most suitable for your needs.
Click on the [OK] to save all settings and start the schedule.

Use the other options in the top toolbar to perform the following operations:
- update data in the current page.
