In this article, I will give an example of Phabricator backup.
You can export Phabricator databases with the following command:
./bin/storage dump --compress --output backup.sql.gz
Restore databases from backups using the command:
gunzip -c backup.sql.gz | mysql
Also backup the configuration file:
phabricator/conf/local/local.json
For example, I made a script like this:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir /backups/`date +%Y-%m-%d`
cd /backups/`date +%Y-%m-%d`
tar -cvpzf /backups/`date +%Y-%m-%d`/phabriator_`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.bz2 /home/phd/
/home/phd/phabricator/bin/storage dump --compress --output /backups/`date +%Y-%m-%d`/phabriator_`date +%Y-%m-%d`.sql.gz
# remove old data
find /backups/`date +%Y-%m-%d`/ -type d -mtime +4 -exec rm -rfv {} \;
And add to /etc/crontab:
0 2 * * * root /backups/scripts/backup_phabricator.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
If the repositories are not large, then you can also add them to the script:
tar -cvpzf /backups/`date +%Y-%m-%d`/phabriator_repo_`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar.bz2 /var/repo/
