Backup and Restore

nbouwsma, not need to apologize at all, none of you are talking is obvious to me, I barely access linux system and I am recording system analyst, so I am just trying to make suitecrm work here in my company because I really want to have a pretty good system around here, which I’ve found Suite CRM a very good one…

so, Only I got is to thank you…as at this moment I don’t want to change or do any test on the real enviornment, I would like ask you a “step by step” thing to make a test first in my virtual machine

Backup

1 - copy the suitecrm root folder from /var/www/
(if I try to copy it now, I have some folders without permition, I am using the root user, so I was wondering, if I change these folder’s permition to 666 or 777 , would this cause any damage to the system ? Cause I’ve tried to copy but I have no permition

2 - the database backup was done okay and I have the *.sql file with me

3 - restore the database in my server (virtual)

4 - restore the files

5 - check if everything is up and running

6 - implement your script with cron and see the backup works…

I know that is a lot of work, but I prefer to change and do maitenance on the virtual server first, cause if anything goes wrong on the actual server, all my changes so far are going to be lost…

could you help with the permition thing ?
