• Purge Database
  With this action you can decrease the size of the database. This is done by summerizing the pages visited. The totals will remain, however the precise desciption of what pages are visited are not requestable!
  This should be executed, when the size of the database is getting to big (database size is displayed at the statistic page 1st line on the left).

  Hint: This action is only shown if there are some data available!

  Delete Database
• Delete all data, without making any precautions to restore them.

  Selecting this option will delete all JoomlaStats data. Be sure to back up your database before using this option.

• Part backup
  Backup visitors statistics. After the backup is done, the visitors statistics will be cleared.
• Complete Backup
  All JoomlaStats tables are backuped and stored with a date and time mark.
  The only way to access this data is using a SQL manager (for example phpMyAdmin)!

Export

• CSV export
  With this action one of the selected tables can be exported as CSV (Comma Seperated Value) file and stored locally.
  Afterwards the file can be opened/edited by e.g. MS-Excel or OpenOffice
