Automatic Database Backup

[PrestaShark]

Hi.

I wonder how to launch automatic database backup with this link

index.php?controller=AdminBackup&addbackup

 

i want to put this link to Cron job and launch once a day but the &token=0db7fbef3208258e7956820f914dbf3f messed my conception.

 

Any ideas?

well, your crontab would also have to log into the back office in some way too

I would create my own php file with the following code

<?php

require(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php');

$admin_dir = '/full/path/to/your/admin/folder/';
define('_PS_ADMIN_DIR_', $admin_dir);

$backup = new PrestaShopBackup();
$backup->add();

Put that file in your root folder and then use that in your crontab.  Make sure the admin_dir variable is set correctly

 

You could add a token to that as well to prevent it from accidentally being called from a bot, user etc...

Wow. Thanks. I will test it

So if my admin folder is admin12345 then

$admin_dir = '/full/path/to/your/admin/folder/';

sould be

$admin_dir = '/admin12345/';

 

?

no, it would be the FULL Path, including the admin folder
