Maintenance
From the System menu, select Maintenance. The Maintenance window is displayed, as follows:
Delete guest customer records
From the Deleting guest customers panel, click the Delete button. This option enables you to delete customer records created for guest visitors.
Note
Only guests without orders or written customer content (such as product reviews or news comments) will be deleted.
Deleting old exported files
From the Deleting old exported files panel, click the Delete button. All the exported and generated files (such as, PDF and Excel files for example) will be deleted and removed from the database.
Delete abandoned shopping carts and wishlists
From the Deleting abandoned shopping carts panel, click the Delete button. All shopping cart and wishlist items created before the specified date will be deleted.
Re-index database tables
From the Re-index database tables panel, click the Re-index button. This procedure modifies existing tables by rebuilding the index. When you execute re-indexing in a table, only the statistics associated with the indexes are updated. Automatic or manual statistics created in the table (instead of an index) are not updated.
Database backups
From the Database backups panel, click the Backup now button to create a database backup.
Note
Database backup functionality works only when your nopCommerce application is deployed on the same server as the database. Otherwise you will have to take care of the backup yourself (contact your system administrator).
