Hi, I am using the D5 Bus Line theme on my site, I absolutely loved it!

I like to know which files I need to backup my current configuration since I have put too much work into it already, to ensure I don’t loose anything. Currently I make a copy of the whole theme in my directory, which is a bit clumsy.

Thanks for your help!

Backing up the whole theme is better than picking individual files. It is better to have too much than too little, however if there are admin settings specific to the theme, they need to be backed up as well which means backing up the database. You should keep a regular backup of the database for your content and other site settings anyway.

Amazing! Thanks both of you so much! I probably do the automatic backups on different stages and do a full backup in fixed times now that I know the means and tools to do it.
