*DatabaseBackup* is a CakePHP plugin to export, import and manage database backups. Currently, the plugin supports *MySql*, *Postgres* and *Sqlite* databases.

Did you like this plugin? Its development requires a lot of time for me. Please consider the possibility of making [a donation](//paypal.me/mirkopagliai): even a coffee is enough! Thank you.

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

[](#requirements)

*DatabaseBackup* requires:

- `mariadb` and `mariadb-dump` for *MariaDB*/*MySql* databases (if you still use `mysql`/`mysqldump`, [see here](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-database-backup/blob/3.0.x/docs/Common%20issues.md#transition-from-mysql-and-mysqldump-to-mariadb-and-mariadb-dump));
- `pg_dump` and `pg_restore` for *Postgres* databases;
- `sqlite3` for *Sqlite* databases.

**Optionally**, if you want to handle compressed backups, `bzip2` and `gzip` are also required.

The installation of these binaries may vary depending on your operating system.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the plugin via composer:

```
composer require --prefer-dist mirko-pagliai/cakephp-database-backup
```

Then you have to load the plugin. For more information on how to load the plugin, please refer to the [CakePHP documentation](https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/plugins.html#loading-a-plugin).

You can execute the shell command to enable the plugin:

```
bin/cake plugin load DatabaseBackup
```

This would update your application's bootstrap method.

### Installation on older CakePHP and PHP versions

[](#installation-on-older-cakephp-and-php-versions)

Compared to the current installation requirements, some tags or branches are provided for those using older versions of CakePHP and PHP:

- `2.15` versions, which require at least CakePHP `5.0` and PHP `8.1`;
- tag [`cakephp4`](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-database-backup/releases/tag/cakephp4), which requires at least PHP `>=7.4.0` and CakePHP `^4.0`.
    This tag no longer receives any updates as of January 5, 2024, and roughly coincides with what `2.12.3` version was.
- tag [`cakephp3`](https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-database-backup/releases/tag/cakephp3), which requires at least PHP `>=5.6
