/wp_back-upper

Convenience script for backing up WordPress sites. Bash script.

Primary LanguageShell

Run it from anywhere, and it does a mysqldump and ZIP archive. You tell it where to put those. Before doing the backup it checks free space and displays directory information and size, and then the user confirms, to execute the backup. Just tell it the directory of the site, and it checks the wp-config to get the db name, user and pass.

Usage

It takes 3 arguments:

  • directory of site
  • directory to place backup files
  • name for backup files

Example

sh wp_back-upper.sh my_site_dir my_backups_dir the_name_for_the_backup_files
