For these reasons, it’s highly recommended to use third-party software like Handy Backup, which offers a variety of convenient, automated, and secure backup options specifically designed for PrestaShop stores.
Set up automated backups of your store’s database with our dedicated MySQL Backup plugin. Easily connect to local or remote databases, schedule regular backups, and ensure your data is safely stored without manual effort.
Access your backups as readable MySQL dump files. Browse and edit your data or perform manual restores anytime. Switch between storage engines like MyISAM and InnoDB easily to have full control over your database recovery.
Customize your PrestaShop backup schedule with options ranging from every minute to monthly intervals. Automate backups to run smoothly and reliably, ensuring your store’s data is always protected without manual effort.
Use incremental and differential backups that store only changes since the last backup. This approach reduces storage needs and speeds up backup processes while keeping your PrestaShop data fully protected.
Perform hot backups of your PrestaShop store smoothly, without interrupting your live site. Choose to keep your store online during backups or pause it briefly for a quick cold backup.
Protect your backups with strong encryption and reduce storage size by compressing your data. Keep your store’s sensitive information secure while optimizing backup storage for efficient management.
Create a recovery task using the same user-friendly interface as for PrestaShop backup. Quickly restore your store by setting simple options and get your site back online smoothly without any technical complications.
Configure automatic cloning of your PrestaShop backup images to remote servers. Keep your data mirrored and synchronized for fast disaster recovery or load balancing — ensuring constant protection without manual work.
