## Manual approach (for experienced users)

Manual editing of the database is suitable for experienced users who are familiar with the database.

**Important:** In the Shopware 6 Cloud currently is no possibility to reach the configuration via the database.

**Tip**: For quick access to the database, we like to use the [Adminer extension](https://knowledge.themeware.design/knowledge-base/profi-knowledge/editing-the-database-with-the-adminer) for the Friends of Shopware admin.

### Backup of the theme configuration

1. Open the database (e.g. Adminer or phpMyAdmin)
2. Use the search field to find the table "**themes**" (1)
3. Open the table with "**select**" (2)
4. Edit the data set of the desired theme (e.g. "TcinnThemeWareModern") with "**edit**" (3)
5. Save the content of the column "**config\_values**" (4) in a \*.txt or \*.json file to perform a "backup" of the current configuration
6. Leave the database without saving changes
