4.1.2 Backup production files

PrintShop Mail Web stores the production files in a central location located in the web site folder of the PSM

Web system. This folder includes: template documents, job created by the visitors, image collections, job

option files etc. Most of these items are referred to by the PSM Web database. It is very important to create a

backup of the database that goes with the current state of your files folder.

To create a backup of the files folder:

1. Stop the PrintShop Mail Server service. This can be done via the Windows Services dialog

(Administrative tools) or by launching the PrintShop Server - Service Manager application. The latter can

be found in the following locations:

▪ For PSW 2.x this is:

C:\Program Files\PrintShop Web\PrintShop Server

▪ For PSM Web 7 this is:

C:\Program Files\PrintShop Mail Suite 7\PrintShop Mail Web\PrintShop Server

Note: If you do not stop the PSM Server service files might be in use (busy) due to the template

cache of PrintShop Server.

2. Locate the web site folder of your PrintShop Mail Web installation.

▪ For PSWeb 2.x this is:

C:\Program Files\PrintShop Wev\Website

▪ For PSM Web 7 this is:

C:\Program Files\PrintShop Mail Suite 7\PrintShop Mail Web\Website

3. Copy the files folder to an external hard drive or share on your network.
