# Backup and Restore Data
|
|
|
|
When working productively you should backup the data and configuration of Part-DB regularly to prevent data loss. This is also useful, if you want to migrate your Part-DB instance from one server to another. In that case you just have to backup the data on server 1, move the backup to server 2, install Part-DB on server 2 and restore the backup.
|
|
|
|
## Backup (automatic / Part-DB supported)
|
|
Part-DB includes a command `php bin/console partdb:backup` which automatically collects all the needed data (described below) and saves them to a ZIP file.
|
|
|
|
If you are using a MySQL/MariaDB database you need to have `mysqldump` installed and added to your `$PATH` env.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
To backup all possible data, run the following command: `php bin/console partdb:backup --full /path/to/backup/partdb_backup.zip`.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to do only partial backups (config, attachments, or database). See `php bin/console partdb:backup --help` for more infos about these options.
|
|
|
|
## Backup (manual)
|
|
There are 3 parts which have to be backup-ed: The configuration files, which contains the instance specific options, the uploaded files of attachments, and the database containing the most data of Part-DB.
|
|
Everything else like thumbnails and cache files, are recreated automatically when needed.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration files
|
|
You have to copy the `.env.local` file and (if you have changed it) the `config/parameters.yaml` and `config/banner.md` to your backup location.
|
|
|
|
### Attachment files
|
|
You have to recursively copy the `uploads/` folder and the `public/media` folder to your backup location.
|
|
|
|
### Database
|
|
#### Sqlite
|
|
If you are using sqlite, it is sufficient to just copy your `app.db` from your database location (normally `var/app.db`) to your backup location.
|
|
|
|
#### MySQL / MariaDB
|
|
For MySQL / MariaDB you have to dump the database to an SQL file. You can do this manually with phpmyadmin, or you use [`mysqldump`](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-dumpmysqldump/) to dump the database to an SQL file via command line interface (`mysqldump -uBACKUP -pPASSWORD DATABASE`)
|
|
|
|
## Restore
|
|
Install Part-DB as usual as described in the installation section, with the exception of the database creation / migration part. You have to use the same database type (sqlite or mysql) as on the back-uped server instance.
|
|
|
|
### Restore configuration
|
|
Copy configuration files `.env.local`, (and if existing) `config/parameters.yaml` and `config/banner.md` from the backup to your new Part-DB instance and overwrite the existing files there.
|
|
|
|
### Restore attachment files
|
|
Copy the `uploads/` and the `public/media/` folder from your backup into your new Part-DB folder.
|
|
|
|
### Restore database
|
|
#### Sqlite
|
|
Copy the backup-ed `app.db` into the database folder normally `var/app.db` in Part-DB root folder.
|
|
|
|
#### MySQL / MariaDB
|
|
Recreate a database and user with the same credentials as before (or update the database credentials in the `.env.local` file).
|
|
Import the dumped SQL file from the backup into your new database. |
