Hello, I work in Engre.co and we often need to make data backups for clients, when I make a data backup I follow this sequence
To properly make a backup with subsequent recovery you need:
1) make a backup in the opencard admin
2) save all opencard files from the server folder
3) to make dump of base mySQL (it is better through update)
To restore:
1) restore the mySQL database from the dump
2) copy all opencard files to the server folder
3) restore the backup from the opencard admin
4) just in case after recovery from the admin to restore the mySQL database from the dump again
