The backups can be downloaded in the backend and backups can be created manually by backend users. Please read the migration notes from version 1 below! The console command `bwein:database:backup` and cronjob listener were removed from the extension in version 2 because Contao 4.13 includes a backup command - see: Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the bundle via Composer: ``` composer require bwein-net/contao-database-backup ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) In the `config/config.yml` you can add the following optional parameters: ``` # config/config.yml bwein_database_backup: cron_interval: 'daily' ``` The default of `cron_interval` is `null` - so no cron job is running. You have to define it manually - see: The option `cron_interval` can be `minutely`, `hourly`, `daily`, `weekly`, `monthly`, `yearly` or a full CRON expression, like `*/5 * * * *` - see: **Attention:** Even if you define `daily` as `cron_interval` you need to specify the `keep_max` and `keep_intervals` of the core to have daily backups e.g. ``` # config/config.yml contao: backup: keep_max: 10 keep_intervals: ['1D', '2D', '3D', '4D', '5D', '6D', '7D', '14D', '1M'] ``` Migration from version 1 to 2 ----------------------------- [](#migration-from-version-1-to-2) ### Replace Configuration [](#replace-configuration) The custom configuration `bwein_database_backup` has to be removed from `config/config.yml`. Optionally, it can be replaced by the core configuration - see: ### Run Migration [](#run-migration) The existing backups will be automatically moved from `var/db_backups` to `var/backups` with a migration by running `contao:migrate` or use the Contao Install Tool. ### Change backup directory [](#change-backup-directory) If you use deploy tools like deployer that define shared dirs, you need to change the backup directory from `var/db_backups` to `var/backups`! ### Add Cronjob [](#add-cronjob) The cronjob listener has been removed so you have to add a manual daily routine: ``` 0 4 * * * /path/to/system/vendor/bin/contao-console contao:backup:create ``` see: ### Replace command usages [](#replace-command-usages) The command `bwein:database:backup` has been removed so you need to replace the usages to `contao:backup:create` - see: ### Health Score 54 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance71 Regular maintenance activity Popularity31 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity84 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
