This page describes how to manually back up the Live environment of a Magnolia cloud-based site. Keep in mind that Magnolia also creates backups automatically (see when data is backed up for further information).

You can create manual backups as often as you want. However, only the latest one is stored.

To create a backup manually:

  1. In the Site overview page click Manage environments in the Environments section. 

  2. Click Back up Live environment.

  3. Confirm the consequences of the back up operation and click Back up.


    The backup action is triggered.

  4. Click OK. As all actions in the Magnolia cockpit are asynchronous, you can click OK before the backup is complete. The action runs in the background and a notification appears once it is complete. The action also appears in the activity log.
