Backups

There are two important places where your data are located, in your database and in your media folder. The following umap commands might help you to backup these data:

backup

The backup command requires a path as a parameter where two archives will be generated:

  • <path>/database.<isodate>.tar.gz contains a JSON dump of the database ready to be passed to a loaddata command.
  • <path>/media.<isodate>.tar.gz contains the content of your media folder as declared in your MEDIA_ROOT setting.

Examples

umap backup /tmp/test_backup

will generate (if run on May, 4th 2017!):

/tmp/test_backup/database.2017-05-04.tar.gz
/tmp/test_backup/media.2017-05-04.tar.gz

sync_backup

The sync_backup command requires a path as a parameter and a destination to synchronize to.

It will take both database and media archives files for the current day and rsync these to the destination.

Examples

umap sync_backup /tmp/test_backup root@ip:/backups

will sync generated files from the backup command to your distant server.
