Upgrade note: Full exports are only available in the Classroom and Campus Editions of PBworks. Upgrade your workspace if you want this feature to be enabled for your workspace.
PBworks takes data storage very seriously, and backups of your workspace are constantly made behind the scenes to prevent data loss in the event of a catastrophic system failure. We monitor our servers very closely 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 366 days a year (leap year!), so you can rest assured that your data is safe on PBworks. Exporting your data is never necessary to maintain your data on PBworks. For technical reasons, our backups are never made available to the public or our customers, for any reason. They are only accessible by PBwiki Inc., and only in the event of a problem with our system.
However, you may still want to export the contents of you particular workspace. Deletions made to pages and files are permanent and cannot be restored for any particular workspace, so making an export is a good way to insure your data against an Editor or Administrator accidentally deleting data.
In order for you to make an export of your own workspace, so that you can keep it and access it anytime you want, just follow these steps:
Making an Export
Export LimitationsCurrently, the export system will only export pages and files (if that option is checked) on the workspace. Comments, workspace settings, users, and user security settings are not included in this export.
Restoring a workspace page from an export fileTo recover from an accidental deletion, you can restore a page from a .ZIP export by following these steps:
To restore a file, simply upload the file to the appropriate folder. |
