A low-level tool to backup and restore a full TYPO3 installation

How to use:

1. Download and install backup_restore in the extension manager Or use composer composer require beechit/backup-restore and install extension in the extension manager

2. Now you have a set of cli commands to backup and restore a TYPO3 install

   # create a backup
   ./typo3cms backuprestore:create
   
   # list existing backups
   ./typo3cms backuprestore:list
   
   # restore a backup
   ./typo3cms backuprestore:restore 2016-05-19_10-16-dd20a00976208b56
   
   # create backup with specific name
   ./typo3cms backuprestore:create kickstart
   

Requirements:

TYPO3 >= 10.3 ext:typo3_console >= 6.0.0

Important:

If no backup path is given the controller tries to create a folder named backups 1 level below the web root. When this isn't possible a folder named backups is created in typo3temp. Make sure to secure this folder!

Additional config:

The following ENV variables can be used to define custom paths to the needed binaries:

path_tar_bin="/usr/bin/tar" path_mysqldump_bin="/usr/bin/mysqldump" path_mysql_bin="/usr/bin/mysql"
