README

DBBackup it's a library that provides classes to execute mysqldump to backup the given database, relocate the backup file in the local filesystem and compress the resulting backup file.

Requirements

• PHP 7.1+
• MySQL client/server version 5.6.x
• Gzip on the server (only tested on unix)

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require lily-labs/db-backup

For the backup process to work, it requires that you pre-configure a local login for mysql on your server using mysql_config_editor as follows:

mysql_config_editor set --login-path=local --host=localhost --user=username --password

Your database password will be asked after entering the command.

Usage

First create a BackupFileNameGenerator, this will generate the desire filename for the backup file, the default implementation LilyLabs\DBBackup\BasicBackupFileNameGenerator will generate a file name in this format: "[database_name]_[year]-[month]-[day].sql"

use LilyLabs\DBBackup\BasicBackupFileNameGenerator;
use LilyLabs\DBBackup\MysqldumpBackupProcessor;

$db_name = "DBTest";
$date = new DateTime('now');
$filename_generator = new BasicBackupFileNameGenerator($db_name, $date);
$filename = $filename_generator->getName(); // DBTest_[year]-[month]-[day].sql

Now, create an instance of LilyLabs\DBBackup\MysqldumpBackupProcessor to execute the backup process

$backup_processor = new MysqldumpBackupProcessor(
    $db_name,
    $filename_generator
);
$backup_file = $backup_processor->execute();

The returned object is an instance of LilyLabs\DBBackup\DBBackupFile, all backups are generated on the temp folder obtained by sys_get_temp_dir(), you can now move the file to your desired storage location.

$moved_backup_file = $backup_file->move("/final/location/of/the/backup");

Finally, you can use the class LilyLabs\DBBackup\GzipCompressor to gzip the backupfile:

$compressor = new \LilyLabs\DBBackup\GzipCompressor;
$compressed_backup_file = $compressor->compress($moved_backup_file);

Testing

composer test
