Habari Backup
Tagged: backup and plugin
Description
Habari Backup is a Habari plugin that backs up your database every day. The backup file is compressed, and mailed to the address of your choosing.
Configuration
Define the directory used to store the backup file before it is emailed. This directory must be writable by the web server. The backup file will be deleted after it is emailed to you.
Also define the email address of the recipient of the backup files. The backup files can potentially grow to several megabytes in size, so be sure to use an account that accepts such large files.
Usage
The plugin will execute once every day to backup your database.
If you would like to perform a manual backup, you may select the "Execute" option from the dropbutton on the Plugins page.
Screenshots
Here's an example of what the dashboard module will display when there are no errors:
Notes
- The email will come from
noreply@yourdomain.com - Currently, the plugin backups MySQL and SQLite databses.
- For SQLite, the plugin makes an exact copy of your database file, gzips it, and emails the gzipped file.
