AbanteCart includes a built-in backup and restore feature. However, if your store contains large resources, attempting a full backup through the admin panel may result in the following error:
Error:AbanteCart core v.1.x.x – Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/dir/sitename.*/admin/model/tool/backup.php on line 476
To avoid this issue, it’s recommended to perform full backups—including the database, images, and core files—via your hosting control panel (e.g., cPanel or DirectAdmin), which is more reliable for handling large files and extended processes.
