Page description - Backup and Restore page

The Backup and Restore page enables you to save copies of your payment service pages and also to restore from a previously saved backup.

CAUTION: We strongly recommended that you create backup copies of your payment service pages before you start customising them. You can then restore a backup copy if you want to try different customisations.

Note that backups are a copy of the payment service page files for your test installation, you cannot directly backup the payment service page files for your Production installation.
