SilverStripe Tool: Docker Backup
SilverStripe Tool: Docker Backup
This is a utility container image for capturing and restoring backups from an active SilverStripe website. This tool produces a backup consisting of a database export and file assets. The backup consists of an archive that can be restored from. The primary purpose of this tool is to enable users to conveniently capture and restore user-generated content, without the headache of needing to install additional tools or dependencies - including PHP, MySQL, and other miscellaneous system packages.
This container image relies on the sspak tool that was developed by the Silverstripe team. It is relatively light-weight in both its overall size and dependencies, as it is based on the Alpine Linux operating system. It can also support automated CRON-based scheduling for capturing backups, enabling users to capture backups on a regular schedule.
