Hosted Apps Backup Facility

SourceForge.net provides a variety of applications through the Hosted Apps offering. We encourage project administrators to make regular backups. Since Hosted Apps filesystems and databases are not accessible to users, we provide a web-based backup facility which permits projects to backup their Hosted Apps data.

How to obtain a backup of your Hosted App

  • Log in to SourceForge.net.
  • Go to the Hosted Apps page.
    • For Project hosted apps, on your project summary page (https://sourceforge.net/projects/<project_UNIX_name>) go to Project Admin -> Features.
    • For Developer hosted apps, choose the "Hosted Apps" link at the top of your account page.
  • On the row for Backups, click the Hosted Apps link in the Options column.
  • Select:
    • Either files or a database.
    • Output format (compressed or plain).
    • The app you would like to back up.
  • Click on the submit button and you'll be offered a download of the the data you selected.
