Automated Installation
Visit the Plugin Store within your Craft project Control Panel. Search for "DB Dump" and select the plugin. Click install.
Manual Installation

Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

Configuring DB Dump
Before You Begin
Open your config/general.php file and add
'extraAllowedFileExtensions' => 'sql'
to either your global settings array, or the array for the environment where you want to perform backups.
Settings
In the Craft Control Panel, navigate to Settings > Plugins > DB Dump > Settings. Set a key, choose an asset volume with which to store your backups, and set a number of old backups to keep.
Using DB Dump
To run a backup, create a GET or a POST request to the DB Dump action URL.
Link to the Backup Function in a Twig Template:
<a href="{{ actionUrl('/db-dump', { key: '" ~ key ~ "' }) }}">Backup Now</a>
Trigger a Backup by Visiting a URL in your Browser:
https://domain.com/index.php?p=actions/db-dump&key=12345
Setup a CRON Job to Trigger Backups on a Regular Interval:
Your server CRON syntax may vary. Try either of the examples below. Ensure you've set (above) the maximum number of backups to keep, unless you potentially want many, many backups.
wget https://domain.com/index.php?p=actions/db-dump&key=12345 >/dev/null 2>&1
or
curl -s -o /dev/null "http://aamgi.loc/actions/db-dump?key=12345678"
