CLI::Wordpress Backup

Updraft Plus

If you like to use a supported commercial backup/restore/migrate product then the UpdraftPlus Premium plugin (requires paid subscription) can be used.

see ../README.md for details

So, a typical new site starts with

• rawp setup && rawp launch && rawp renewal

• go to site and configure via front-end

  • new user

  • upload and install updraftplus-with-migrator.2.23.3.zip

  • upload and restore / migrate from source site

This will handle the original WP database and files

Then, according to the docs, you can go:

• rawp wp 'updraftplus backup'

• rawp wp 'updraftplus restore <nonce>'

Git Source Control (Backup)

After your base site is running, you can push it to git.

see ./wpgit.md for details

This will initialize the WP files:

• do rawp git-setup

• do 'Push (modified) Wordpress files to a (new) GitHub repo'

Then for the database:

• rawp wp 'db export'

• do a git commit and push

export GPG_TTY=$(tty) git pull git add *.sql git status git commit -am'db backup' git push exit

rawp wp 'db import wordpress-2023-04-28-367cd92.sql'
