  How to protect and restore your Cashfree gateway configuration in AcelleMail —
  there is no built-in backup, so use standard AcelleMail database backups.

# Backup and restore

The Cashfree plugin has **no built-in backup system** — and it doesn't need one. Your gateway
configuration lives in AcelleMail's own database and persists across plugin updates, so protecting it
is simply part of protecting AcelleMail itself. Follow standard AcelleMail backup practice and you're
covered.

## What to back up

Your Cashfree settings — the license key, App ID, Secret Key, Sandbox toggle and any Webhook Secret,
plus the plan mappings for the Subscription gateway — are stored in AcelleMail's database, not in the
plugin files. Your payment and transaction records live there too. So a regular **AcelleMail database
backup** captures everything the gateway relies on.

* Keep **regular database backups** on your normal AcelleMail schedule.
* Take a fresh backup **before big changes** — updating the plugin, switching from Sandbox to live, or
  rotating your Cashfree credentials.

::: info Nothing plugin-specific to save
The gateways use AcelleMail's own payment tables and add no custom database tables of their own, so
there's no separate export to keep. A whole-database backup is enough.

## Rolling back

If an update misbehaves, you can roll back:

1. Download the **previous** version's ZIP from your relyweb.co client area.
2. Re-upload it via **Admin → Plugins → Upload Plugin** — this restores the older files in place.
3. Only if the newer version had changed stored data do you also need to **restore your database
   backup**. For a straightforward version rollback, re-uploading the previous ZIP is usually all
   that's required, since your settings persist untouched.

After rolling back, confirm the license badge still reads **Active** and that both gateways appear in
**Admin → Payment Gateways**.
