Prestashop Tutorial - How to backup Prestashop database

It is strongly recommended that you backup the database at regular intervals and before an upgrade.

NOTE: This Prestashop tutorial will show you how to backup your Prestashop database that include all your products, cms, manufactures and others, but DO NOT backup the files and folders such as images, theme files on the server.
If you need a complete Prestashop module to backup your database and files, i recommend you to use SOO Prestashop Cloud Backup.
