SlippySlope Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I understand that one way to have a website backup is to export a xml file. I also read that this is not possible in version 7.1...my question is it possible in version 7.0? Link to comment
SlippySlope Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 ...I'll add that I read that the path is: Settings > Advanced > Import/Export and click on Export but when I go to Settings, I see no Advanced option. Why no "Advanced" option? Link to comment
creedon Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) The instructions you read are out of date. SS has since moved things around. Settings is now on the home page. Just to be clear the export is not a backup in the sense that you can restore your site from it. It would contain some of the site content but is not a perfect copy.

SlippySlope Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Creedon...I've attached screenshots...when I go to "Website" there is no "Settings" option. We're on version 7.0, does that make a difference? Link to comment

SlippySlope Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Thanks again...I went to "Settings" which is in the 2nd screenshot. I've attached a screenshot. As you can see, still no "Advance" option. Also, I understand that this is not a real backup (like with ftp) and I have made a duplicate of the website (and I've done screenshots) but I just feel more comfortable if I have as much data as possible put aside. Who knows when someone is going out of business. 🫣 Link to comment
SlippySlope Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 OMG...looking at the screenshot...I just saw "Import & Export Content"...amazing that I didn't see it when I was looking at the actual page. Sorry and thanks for your guidance. Link to comment

The option you want is there on the last screenshot you provided. Import & Export Content. So the path is Home > Settings > Website > Import & Export Content. Note : Home is not explicitly stated in the UI but it is often referred to as that as it is the top level you can get to when navigating the left panel. Find my contributions useful?
