README

DatabaseBackupBundle is a Symfony Bundle to manage your databases backup.

Installation

composer require symandy/database-backup-bundle

If Symfony Flex is not enabled yet for the bundle (A PR on symfony/recipes-contrib will be submitted soon), add the following lines to config/bundles.php.

<?php

return [
    ...
    Symandy\DatabaseBackupBundle\SymandyDatabaseBackupBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    ...
];

Configuration

YAML configuration

As in the previous part, if Symfony Flex is not enabled, add the following file (symandy_database_backup.yaml) to config/packages directory.

Basic configuration

If the only purpose is to back up the database of the current project, use the basic configuration file.

symandy_database_backup:
    backups:
        app:
            connection:
                url: "%env(DATABASE_URL)%"
            strategy:
                max_files: 5
                backup_directory: "%kernel.project_dir%/backups"

Advanced usages

symandy_database_backup:
    backups:
        foo:
            connection:
                # driver: !php/const \Symandy\DatabaseBackupBundle\Model\ConnectionDriver::MySQL
                driver: mysql

                # Usage of environment variables as parameters is recommended for connections configuration
                configuration:
                    user: "%app.foo_db_user%"
                    password: "%app.foo_db_password%"
                    host: 127.0.0.1 # Already the default value, don't need to be added
                    port: 3306 # Already the default value, don't need to be added
                    databases: [foo, bar, baz] # Will only back up these databases
            strategy:
                max_files: 5 # Number of files kept after a backup (per database)
                # backup_directory: "/var/www/backups" # The directory must be created and must have the right permissions
                backup_directory: "%kernel.project_dir%/backups"
                # backup_directory: ~ # The current directory will be used if no value is passed
                date_format: 'Y-m-d-His' # The date format to use in backup files (default: 'Y-m-d')

        bar:
            # Use Doctrine database url env parameter
            connection:
                url: "%env(DATABASE_URL)%" # url key will ALWAYS override array configuration
                configuration:
                    user: john # Overridden by url

Drivers

Only the mysql driver is currently available.

Usage

Once the backups are configured, you only have to run the following command to generate the dumped databases backup files:

php bin/console symandy:databases:backup

It will generate one file by database in the format <backup_name>-<database>-<date_format>.sql.
