How to make backups

Automatic backup (with scheduler)

Must be allowed in plugin's Settings!

There are default scheduler jobs for database and active theme to be backed up once a day.

See October CMS docs about scheduling jobs.

Automatic backup (without scheduler)

If you cannot run Cron command directly on your server/hosting, you can create custom CMS page like this:

title = "artisan"
url = "/artisan/schedule"
is_hidden = 0
==
<?php
    function onStart()
    {
        wsb_backup_db($once = false, $connectionName = null,$noCleanup = false);
        wsb_backup_theme($once = false, $themeName = null, $noCleanup = false);
    }
?>
==

Manual backup

You can create manual backup in plugin's Settings by clicking button Backup now on Database or Theme tab.

Console commands

There are console commands ready:

• php artisan smallbackup:db [connectionName] [--no-cleanup] [--once] (connectionName is optional and respect config/database.php settings)

• php artisan smallbackup:theme [themeName] [--no-cleanup] [--once] (themeName is optional and can be any folder name in themes/)
