Our Over-The-Air (OTA) update engine is designed to seamlessly extract new code and execute database migrations directly on your server. However, best practice dictates that you always secure a recovery point before initiating any major software upgrade.
Recommended Backup Steps:
- File Backup: Compress your entire application root folder into a .zip archive. If an update fails mid-download due to a server timeout, you can quickly extract this archive to restore your files.
- Database Dump: Use phpMyAdmin, MySQL Workbench, or a command-line tool to export your application's database to a .sql file. This protects your data if an automated migration script fails to execute.
Once your backup is securely stored off-server, you may confidently proceed with clicking the "Update" button in your dashboard.
