Backup

Limitations

Currently SQL Server and backing up S3 storage is not supported.

Manual backup

Backups can be triggered manually by executing the following command:

php artisan backup:run

Schedule backups for Classic

Schedule them by adding this line to your servers cron entries:

0 * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

This will check every hour if there is any task to run.

You also have to change in your .env file:

RUN_BACKUP = true

Schedule backups for Docker

If you installed Benotes with Docker you only have to add to your .env file:

RUN_BACKUP = true

Backup Interval & Storage options

By default scheduled backups are created every night. If you wish to change that add the following to your .env file:

BACKUP_INTERVAL = "0 0 */7 * *"

This would translate to a weekly backup.

If you wish to store your data with S3 compatible Object Storage (such as AWS S3, Digital Ocean Spaces, Minio, etc.), add the following to your .env file:

BACKUP_DISK=s3
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=yourKeyId
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yourAccessKey
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_BUCKET=yourCreativeBucketName
AWS_ENDPOINT=endpointUrl
