Server Administration

On the server administrative tasks involving stores and users are executed on the command line. All related scripts are found in the bin directory of your Topincs installation. You will find scripts for Unix and Windows. You can delete "the others". The names of the scripts give a clear indication of what they do. If you need more information, just call them without any parameter. Make sure you execute these scripts only from within the bin directory.

Backup/Restore

To run the backup and restore scripts you need to have mysql and mysqldump on your path. You will find these executables in the bin directory of your MySQL installation. It is recommended to backup often. The backup command creates a SQL script of one store. The restore command deletes all data in a store and restores the contents of the passed SQL script.
