Tips for Safe Theme Backup

• Always create a theme backup before updating the theme or installing new plugins.
• Keep multiple versions of your theme backup in case you need to revert to an older version.
• Use the Download option to maintain an offline copy for additional security.
• Remember: Theme backup does not include database or content. Use a separate backup plugin for full site backups.
