backup: List, create, or restore backups

Syntax

bin/zotonic backup <site_name> list|start|restore|download [backup_name]

Requirements and effects

Requires a running site with mod_backup. Listing is read-only; the other operations change backup or site data.

list lists backups; start requests a backup. restore <backup_name> asks you to type the site name and choose whether to restore configuration and security files; database and files are the default. download downloads and restores the newest backup, requires the backup environment, and asks for confirmation. Restore makes the destination unavailable. Check completion and restored content afterwards; some failure paths print an error without a failing exit status.

Example

bin/zotonic backup garden list

Run commands from the Zotonic workspace root. Replace garden with your site name where applicable.
