To backup of your project, you need to go to:

1. My DocumentsShopFactory V8 Websites

(or the designated directory if you have chosen another directory)

2. Find the folder which has the name of your shop.

E.g. 

3. Make a copy of this entire folder including sub-folders and store it somewhere safe. You can either burn it on CD or copy and paste to another directory.

It is highly recommended you back it up and keep a copy on CD or another computer, just in case the unfortunate happens and your computer is unrecoverable.

You should ZIP the folder prior to creating the backup as it will compress all files and reduce the size.

Please Note: Your online shop is NOT a backup of your shop, it only contains runtime files
