Manage database backups for ProcessWire


Read this blog post about this module

This tool provides an admin interface for the following database backup functions:

  • Creating new backups
  • Uploading backups
  • Restoring backups
  • Providing info on existing backups
  • Managing existing backups (downloading, deleting, etc.)

This is meant to be used as a secondary backup tool, not a primary one. It uses ProcessWire 3.x WireDatabaseBackups class to perform backups and restores. If you are working with really large files, it may be better to perform that task directly in PhpMyAdmin or the native MySQL client.

Requires ProcessWire 3.0.62 or newer.

“We were really happy to build our new portfolio website on ProcessWire! We wanted something that gave us plenty of control on the back-end, without any bloat on the front end - just a nice, easy to access API for all our content that left us free to design and build however we liked.” —Castus, web design agency in Sheffield, UK
