General General Questions

I have backup plans with the host but also want to keep the main directories backed up locally.
Some of my directories and image files are huge and I have them already so wont backup images yet.

What directories do CS cart recommended being backed up as standard for operational reasons. Particulary directories in “var” do I need all the directories under “var” backed up . (obviously I dont need the cache)

and then things like
var/twigmo (old I assume not used any more) Can these be deleted)
var/theme repository (old I assume from, Version 1 and 2) can these be deleted
var/ath_demo (is this needed)
var/builds (is this needed
var/conf (is this needed

Hi!

I recommend you to backup these folders:
app/
design/
js/
var/themes_repository
var/snapshots

And these files:
.htaccess
.htaccess
api.php
config.local.php
config.php
index.php
init.php
robots.txt
upgrades/source_restore.php
admin.php (or whatever it is named in your installation)

Optionally, if you would like to backup images, backup the images/ folder.
