This repository contains a PHP script that automates the process of creating backups of a Drupal database using Drush. The script presents the created backups in a web page, showing details such as the last modification time and file size, and provides an easy download option. The script also includes basic HTTP authentication for added security.
Before using this script, please ensure you have the following installed:
- PHP
- Drush
- A Drupal website
To set up the script, follow these steps:
- Clone this repository to your server.
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/drupal-db-backup-script.git- Open the
db_export.phpfile and replace'admin'and'password'placeholders on lines 4 and 5 with your desired username and password.
$username = 'admin'; // Change this to your desired username
$password = 'password'; // Change this to your desired password- Ensure the backup directory (
/var/www/html/backup) exists and is writable. If it does not exist, create it. The web server user must have write permissions to this directory.
To use the script, navigate to its URL (e.g., http://yourwebsite.com/db_export.php). Enter the username and password when prompted. You will be presented with a list of existing database backups, if any.
To create a new backup, click the "Create and Download DB Backup" button. The page will refresh, and the new backup will be added to the list.
To download a backup, click the "Download" link next to the backup you wish to download.
