Backup database and web forms

We are glad to tell you that all MyTaskHelper's users should be able to backup your web forms and whole projects as well as load them in case of any data loss.

As you may have already noticed you have a Backup icon on your projects list.

IMPORTANT: you can't load a form backup if you still have this form. You can't load a project backup if this project still exists.

We have limits for a backup - it's 1 Gb. So if you have more than 1 Gb database you can't export the whole database from MTH - only 1 Gb.

The solution of the situation:

Create a view and step by step export the whole database. For example, you can create a view with records for certain time period. This is a way to export (backup) parts of your database step by step.

And at the bottom of your projects page you should see a form for loading the saved projects.

Exactly the same functionality can be found in menu Forms.

Only one difference is that when you make a backup for your web form it will save only this form structure, records, widgets, etc. And when you do your project backup it will save everything, i.e. all the forms in your projects, all data records, widgets and settings.

Both form and database backups will be generated in the background and will be sent to your email.
