Automatic Backup by Snapshot of Server
IaaS provider have the “snapshot” function for Server, the snapshot is for the server disk. Snapshot tool can record the specified point in time the hard disk data, all backed up, and can achieve a key recovery.
If you have an automatic snapshot of the disk settings, the following scenes you can be more calm face:
Work a few days of the results, was mistakenly deleted Hackers damage your site The content has been messed up
Done a snapshot backup, a key to restore to the backup point of time state. That is, on-site reduction, very good function.

4. Click “go” button for backup process,and then download the SQL backup file
Upgrade
Before upgrade you should put the site down for maintenance and always Backup your code, data and config files.
It is highly recommended to temporarily disable any third party themes and user CSS customizations before upgrading. Don’t forget to empty your browser cache if you experience weird bugs right after upgrading.
Note that you should upgrade to the latest version available, installing intermediate releases sequentially is not needed.
Below are the main upgrade steps:
1. Using ssh to run command below
cd /data/wwwroot/tt-rss git pull origin master
2. Merging new config.php directives:After the files have been upgraded by newer versions, open tt-rss. It may complain about missing
directives in config.php . If that happens, you will need to either
merge new stuff from config.php-dist to your config.php or remove config.php and rerun the installer (take note to copy previous value of FEED_CRYPT_KEY if you have feeds with authentication enabled). 3. Updating the database:Afterwards, you may be redirected to the database updater
4. You will receive the feedback message like “Performing update up to version 132…OK!Your Tiny Tiny RSS database is now updated to the latest version.”,it’s means upgrade successfull Post-upgrade tasks
1. You might need to clear your browser cache if you experience CSS or script-related issues, older scripts might have stuck in it. 2. Do not copy cache directories from your old tt-rss version, it is unnecessary and potentially creates problems if you don’t preserve file modification times. 3. If you are using an accelerator like php-apc you might need to restart apache if older cached versions of PHP files got stuck in cache (this happens rarely, but is a possibility).
