    Hello all,

    Just a quick question in looking for best way to back up my Umbraco website.

    Currently the SQL database gets backed up but looking for a backup method for the code?

    I'm looking for best way to back up the entire website to keep everything synced? as I assume if code isn't the same back up as the database then things wouldn't quite work the same?

    Thanks

    Hi Matt,

    you should consider uSync (disclaimer: was built by me)

    https://our.umbraco.com/packages/developer-tools/usync/

    Which will take the elements your Umbraco config that is in the DB and writes them to disk (and the other way around).

    this lets you extract the config from the Umbraco DB and use source control to backup all of your code and settings

    Hello Kevin,

    Yea I did look at USync and looked promising for what I was trying to achieve.

    The issue I had with that it didn't work with the .Net I was using for my website, you did say it would be looked at in an update but I guess you not had time yet :)

    Although we are looking at upgrading and using higher .Net in future, does uSync work for Umbraco 8 aswell?

    Thanks Kevin :)

    yeah the Chauffeur uSync package hasn't been re-targeted (sorry)

    but you can just turn on export only in the config, and it will write all the changes out to disk which will get you your backup ;)

    There is a beta of uSync for v8 (https://github.com/KevinJump/uSync8) - still in progress but it does the basics.
