About BackupMODX

The BackupMODX extra is a tiny dashboard widget. Just place the widget into your dashboard and click the “Backup” button whenever you need a quick backup of your site. You can select either to backup your database, files or both. After the backup is finished you can download the files as a zip-archive. Just click the “Remove Backup” button after your download is finished to remove the backup.
