How to Create a Full Script Backup

When to Create a Script Backup

Create a full script backup before:

Editing theme files, CSS, or JavaScript.
Installing or updating addons.
Upgrading AffiliatePro to a new version.
Modifying core or custom code.

Step-by-Step: Create a Full Script Backup

In the top navigation bar, click Settings.
In the dropdown that opens, click Add-Ons.
On the Add-Ons page, scroll to the System Settings section.
Find the Backups card and click Go to Module.
On the Backup Panel page, scroll down to the Backup Files table.
Above the table, next to the green Get Backup button, click the yellow Backup Full Script button.
A spinner appears. The page reloads and creates a .zip of all script files.
The file is saved as full_script_backup_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.zip inside application/backup/script/.
After reload, the new backup is listed in the table with type Script.

What Gets Backed Up

The backup includes all PHP, HTML, CSS, JS, images, and other files in your AffiliatePro installation root. The following are excluded:

application/backup — to avoid backing up backup files themselves.
node_modules
.git

Script vs Database Backup

Database backup = your data (users, orders, commissions, settings). Script backup = your code and assets. For a complete safeguard before major changes, create both.

Demo Mode

If the site is in demo mode, the Backup Full Script action is disabled.
