BackupSqlShell
==============

[](#backupsqlshell)

Runs mysqldump on a database.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- CakePHP 2.x
- PHP 5.3

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

*\[Using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/)\]*

Add the plugin to your project's `composer.json` - something like this:

```
	{
		"require": {
			"gilleswittenberg/backup-sql": "dev-master"
		}
	}

```

Because this plugin has the type `cakephp-plugin` set in its own `composer.json`, Composer will install it inside your `/Plugins` directory, rather than in the usual vendors file. It is recommended that you add `/Plugins/BackupSql` to your .gitignore file. (Why? [read this](http://getcomposer.org/doc/faqs/should-i-commit-the-dependencies-in-my-vendor-directory.md).)

*\[Manual\]*

- Download this:
- Unzip that download.
- Copy the resulting folder to `app/Plugin`
- Rename the folder you just copied to `BackupSql`

*\[GIT Submodule\]*

In your app directory type:

```
	git submodule add -b master git://github.com/gilleswittenberg/BackupSql.git Plugin/BackupSql
	git submodule init
	git submodule update
```

*\[GIT Clone\]*

In your `Plugin` directory type:

```
	git clone -b master git://github.com/gilleswittenberg/BackupSql.git BackupSql

```

### Enable plugin

[](#enable-plugin)

In 2.0 you need to enable the plugin in your `app/Config/bootstrap.php` file:

```
	CakePlugin::load('BackupSql');

```

If you are already using `CakePlugin::loadAll();`, then this is not necessary.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run the shell on your cli:

```
Console/cake BackupSql.backup_sql default backup.sql
```

This will create a backup of the mysql data configured in your `default` database connection in the `app/tmp/backups` directory named `backup.sql`.
