DB Snapshot plugin for Craft CMS 3.x
====================================

[](#db-snapshot-plugin-for-craft-cms-3x)

Store Craft CMS database backups in an S3 (or compatible) bucket. Also supports loading those backups for local development, etc.

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

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.x and an S3-compatible storage account.

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

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
    cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
    composer require jimbojsb/db-snapshot

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for DB Snapshot.

Configuring DB Snapshot
-----------------------

[](#configuring-db-snapshot)

Configuration is supported in the Craft admin panel.

Snapshot filename can contain Twig expressions: `db_snapshot_{{now|date("Ymd-His")}}.sql`

All fields support Craft environment variable references (For example, setting Access Key to `$ACCESS_KEY`)

Be aware that if you use a timestamp in the filename, you will need to provide a filename when using the load action.

Using DB Snapshot
-----------------

[](#using-db-snapshot)

```
# create a new snapshot
./craft db-snapshot/snapshot/create
```

```
# load an existing snapshot
./craft db-snapshot/snapshot/load
```

```
# load an existing snapshot (specific filename if using variables)
./craft db-snapshot/snapshot/load --filename=db_snapshot_2020-02-29-123456.sql
```

```
# list available snapshots
./craft db-snapshot/snapshot/list
```
