dmAssetsBackupPlugin for Diem Extended is manager for assets backup, as well as for backuping assets.

Configuration

In dmAssetsBackupPlugin/config/dm/config.yml are default configuration values.

default:
  dmAssetsBackupPlugin:
    locations:
      backup_dir:              %SF_ROOT_DIR%/data/dm/backup/assets
      source_dir:              %SF_UPLOAD_DIR%
    rotations:
      max_backup_files:        3
      max_backup_size:         4294967296 # 4GB
    adapter:                   dmAssetsBackupAdapterTar
    adapters:
      dmAssetsBackupAdapterTar:
        extensions:     [ tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 ]
        use:            tar
      dmAssetsBackupAdapterZip:
        extensions:     [ zip ]
        use:            zip

locations configures source and destination directory, that is the directory to backup and directory where that backup should go.

rotations defines the max backup files or max backup size. When one of these two is reached, the oldest backup gets deleted when new backup is created. Note that max_backup_size accepts bytes as size units.

adapter which of installed adapters you would like to use for compression.

adapters are installed adapters for compressing the backup. Two are already provided, TAR and ZIP. Each adapter uses some extension or creates file with some extension.

Administration

Go to System > Backup > Assets backup and you will see the list of backup files. Each file can be:

• Downloaded
• Deleted

Or you can create new backup.

In order to see list of backup files, to create or delete a backup and to download some or all of them, user must have a assets_backup or backup permission associated.

Task

Backups can be created via console, by using a task dm:assets-backup.

The task can be executed periodically, via cron - which is major advantage of this plugin.
