FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Requirements

DatabaseBackup requires:

Optionally, if you want to handle compressed backups, bzip2 and gzip are also required.

The installation of these binaries may vary depending on your operating system.

Installation

You can install the plugin via composer:

Then you have to load the plugin. For more information on how to load the plugin, please refer to the CakePHP documentation.

Simply, you can execute the shell command to enable the plugin:

This would update your application's bootstrap method.

By default, the plugin uses the APP/backups directory to save the backups files. So you have to create the directory and make it writable:

If you want to use a different directory, read the Configuration page.

Installation on older CakePHP and PHP versions

Compared to the current installation requirements, some tags are provided for those using older versions of CakePHP and PHP (until February 7, 2025, they were available as branches, now only as tags):

You can freely use these tags, even by downloading the source codes from the attached assets, but their functioning is no longer guaranteed, especially regarding old dependencies that may no longer be available.

Testing

Normally tests are only run on one driver at a time, by default mysql.

To run tests with another driver, you can use the scripts defined in composer.json:

For example:

Instead, to run tests with all drivers, you can use the test-all script (individual tests are chained together).

For individual drivers, alternatively you can set the db_dsn environment variable, indicating the connection parameters. In this case, the driver type will still be detected automatically.
