DB Snapshot plugin for Craft CMS 3.x

Store Craft CMS database backups in an S3 (or compatible) bucket. Also supports loading those backups for local development, etc.

Requirements

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.x and an S3-compatible storage account.

Installation

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

   cd /path/to/project
   

2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

   composer require jimbojsb/db-snapshot
   

3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for DB Snapshot.

Configuring DB Snapshot

Configuration is supported in the Craft admin panel.

Snapshot filename can contain Twig expressions: db_snapshot_{{now|date("Ymd-His")}}.sql

All fields support Craft environment variable references (For example, setting Access Key to $ACCESS_KEY)

Be aware that if you use a timestamp in the filename, you will need to provide a filename when using the load action.

Using DB Snapshot

# create a new snapshot
./craft db-snapshot/snapshot/create

# load an existing snapshot
./craft db-snapshot/snapshot/load

# load an existing snapshot (specific filename if using variables)
./craft db-snapshot/snapshot/load --filename=db_snapshot_2020-02-29-123456.sql

# list available snapshots
./craft db-snapshot/snapshot/list
