Backup Joomla Website with Handy Backup: Advantages
Easy-to-Use Joomla Backup Plugin
Handy Backup makes Joomla backup database with a dedicated MySQL Backup plugin, making copies of Joomla data from a local or remote database. This plugin is extremely simple for setup, as well as absolutely reliable. You can use it not only for Joomla but also for "conventional" MySQL backup!
Convenient Format for Joomla Database Backup
The Joomla backup plugin saves a "dump" copy of a website-related database as a sequence of MySQL commands in a text file. Therefore, you can browse for website content from unencrypted backup, run it to restore website tables manually, change MyISAM storage engine to InnoDB or vice versa, and so on!
Automation for Every Step!
Schedule your Joomla backup tool to make a copy at an exact time and with an interval from a minute to several months. Create incremental and differential backups to save time and storage place. Make hot backups without stopping a site, or stop it for "cold" backup. Encrypt and compress. Do what you need!.
Quick and Simple Recovery
When you want to restore Joomla site from backup, just create a recovery task and set up the parameters using the same simple graphical interface as for backup Joomla website. You can even clone your Joomla backup image to other host in automatic mode (for mirroring, replicating etc.).
