Important note: The database password can be found in the localconf.php or LocalConfiguration.php file in the /typo3conf directory. You must notchange the database password in the customer menu, otherwise your website will no longer be accessible!
In this video we show you how to create a backup of a TYPO3 project manually and how to download it to your own PC for archiving.
Create export of the database
Please go to our database documentation. There you will find the commands for mySQL and Maria DB databases of the respective versions in Cloud and Classic Hosting.
Create archive file of the project
You can create a compressed archive file with the command:
tar czf archivname.tar.gz --exclude='typo3temp/*' verzeichnisname/
archivname is the freely selectable name of the archive file.
directoryname specifies which directory is to be archived.
You can then download the archivname.tar.gz file created in this way to your own PC via SFTP, for example.
