BackupRestoreBundle

A bundle which provides helper classes and commands to run DB vendor's utilities to backup and restore databases. For now the following DB vendors are implemented:

MySQL
MongoDB

Installation

You can install the bundle as usual. First you clone the repo of the bundle:

git clone git://github.com/comfortablynumb/BackupRestoreBundle.git vendor/bundles/ENC/Bundle/BackupRestoreBundle

Then add the path to the ENC folder in your autoload.php:

// autoload.php
$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // Rest of bundles..

    'ENC' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles'
));

// AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // Rest of bundles..
        new ENC\Bundle\BackupRestoreBundle\BackupRestoreBundle()
    );
}

And finally, add this to your config.yml:

# config.yml
backup_restore: ~

Now you should be ready to go.

SQL Databases

Backup:

To make a backup you have two choices. First you can run a simple command:

php app/console_dev database:backup "your-service-connection-id" "path/destination/for/generated/sql" "optional_filename.sql"

For example:

php app/console_dev database:backup "doctrine.dbal.default_connection" "/var/backups" "new_backup.sql"

The other option is to make a backup from PHP:

$factory = $container->get('backup_restore.factory');
$backupInstance = $factory->getBackupInstance($myConnectionServiceId);
$backupInstance->backupDatabase('/var/backups', 'new_backup.sql');

Restore:

To make a restore from a SQL file you have two choices too. Running a command:

php app/console_dev database:restore "your-service-connection-id" "/path/to/backup_file.sql"

Or from PHP:

$factory = $container->get('backup_restore.factory');
$restoreInstance = $factory->getRestoreInstance($myConnectionServiceId);
$restoreInstance->restoreDatabase('/path/to/backup_file.sql');

MongoDB

Backup:

Making a backup for MongoDB just needs a different approach. You need only the directory to which the backup will be deployed. The utility used for this action is "mongodump", which creates a directory named "dump" with the backup. You just need to pass a directory path where this backup will be created:

php app/console_dev database:backup "your-mongodb-service-connection-id" "/var/backups"

Or in PHP:

$factory = $container->get('backup_restore.factory');
$backupInstance = $factory->getBackupInstance($myMongoDBConnectionServiceId);

// Note that the file argument is not used!
$backupInstance->backupDatabase('/var/backups');

Restore:

The same goes for the restore action. Instead of a file, you need to pass the path to the directory containing the backup:

php app/console_dev database:restore "your-mongodb-service-connection-id" "/path/to/backup_dir_of_mongodb"

Or from PHP:

$factory = $container->get('backup_restore.factory');
$restoreInstance = $factory->getRestoreInstance($myMongoDBConnectionServiceId);
$restoreInstance->restoreDatabase('/path/to/backup_dir_of_mongodb');
