damascene/database-backup

This is just a small CLI app which will create a backup from your database

Database backup CLI app

PS: This work was inspired by many people around me, especially backmeup which was created by Arda Kılıçdağı., _(*1)

The idea

I wanted to have a small cli app that I can use to backup my databases whenever I need and with simple modifications, so I tried bach/shell and I didn't like it., _(*2)

So to make the story short this is what I have done so far, this is just a small backup cli app that you can use on your server and run it via cron jobs to create a backup for all your databases or for one of them if you pass it as a parameter., _(*3)

Currently implemented backup drivers:

1. Local backup.
2. Dropbox.
3. Amazon.

Installation

Requirement

Remember that you need to have composer installed locally, if its not installed locally you can get it from getcomposer.org, _(*4)

Via git clone

Right now the best way to install it is to clone the repository, _(*5)

git clone https://github.com/linuxjuggler/database-backup.git

then execute the following commands, _(*6)

cd database-backup
composer install

Via composer

You can install it using composer by executing the following command:, _(*7)

composer create-project damascene/database-backup

Via composer (globally)

You can install it using composer by executing the following command:, _(*8)

composer global require damascene/database-backup

PS: if you run it globally you can just use backup instead of ./bin/backup., _(*9)

Using the phar file

We distribute a PHP Archive (PHAR) that has all dependencies (including the suggested) of database backup bundled in a single file. You can find the file under the assets of each release., _(*10)

After downloading the file remember to run the following commands:, _(*11)

$ mv backup ./bin/backup
$ chmod u+x backup

Usage

• You should create the configuration file using the command:

./bin/backup init

You will be asked for few questions which the app is going to use them later., _(*12)

• You can start the backup process using the command:

./bin/backup db:run --database my_database_name

if you didn't pass the database parameter it will backup all the databases., _(*13)

• you can list all the backup files that you have using the command:

./bin/backup db:list

Upgrade

Based on how you have install it you can run one of the following commands:, _(*14)

• If installed via git:

from within your code directory run:, _(*15)

git pull origin master

• If installed via composer:

from within your code directory run:, _(*16)

composer update

• If installed via composer globally:

composer global update

• Finally check the file config.yml.example for the new updates if you don't want to use the init command.
