Back-up database

Algemeen

If you would like to upgrade your LimeSurvey installation or transfer it to another location/server, we highly recommend you to back up all your data (questions, participants, responses, etc.). You can use the Backup entire database function for this purpose.

Na het klikken wordt je in een pop-up-scherm gevraagd waar je het sql-bestand met de back-up wilt opslaan.

This backup is recommended when you wish to:

• transfer your LimeSurvey application to another server;
• upgrade your LimeSurvey application (non-ComfortUpdate solution).

NB: Als je gebruik maakt van ComfortUpdate wordt de back-up van de database automatisch aangemaakt in de map /tmp.

This option is also used when changes on different settings (e.g. in the code) are done. In this way, you secure your data in case the application breaks up.
