Silverstripe Backup Module somewhere?

Question

I have not seen any backup script module for Silverstripe that exports the database folder and assets to compressed folders. Does anyone have their own PHP script and execute it with a cron job?

Answer 1

There is an SSPak that does exactly what you are describing: secure assets like tgz and dump Database.

It can also push a dump on an external server.

You can install it with curl:

curl -sS https://silverstripe.imtqy.com/sspak/install | php -- /usr/local/bin

and then, for example, mileage

sspak save /var/www /tmp/site.sspak

or capture data from a remote server, for example

sspak save me@prodserver:/var/www prod-site.sspak

When working remotely, you will need ssh keys, or you will be asked to enter a password a couple of times.
