    Hi,


    Is that possible to work with Backup/Restore in Windows7/Xampp since it can not run shell commands ?

    Everytime I try to create a new backup I get :

    #!/usr/bin/php

    Campsite Backup Utility
    -----------------------

    ERROR!
    Unable to create the default backup directory.
    Please run this script as 'www-data' or as 'root'.

    Alternatively, can I make updates by using copy/paste method and update DB using phpMyAdmin/Import method ?

    Regards,

    You can make backup manually:

    1. Copy folders: conf, images, files, templates
    2. Make db dump by mysqldump utility or via phpmyadmin

    Restore procedure:

    1. Clear folders: images, files, templates, templates_cache
    2. Restore folders: conf, images, files, templates
    3. Restore db dump by mysql utility or via phpmyadmin
