Silverstripe Backup Module somewhere?

Question

I didn't see any backup script module for Silverstripe that export database and assets folder into compressed folders. Is anyone have a custom PHP script and execute it with cron job?

Answer 1

There is SSPak, which does exactly what you describe: secure assets as tgz and dump Database.

It can also push the dump on an external server.

You can install it using curl:

curl -sS https://silverstripe.github.io/sspak/install | php -- /usr/local/bin

and then e.g. run

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

or grab data from a remote server like

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

When working remotely you'd need ssh keys or you will be asked for your password a couple of times.
