This is set up by:
1. Enabling the export of the database and configuration in the Koha instance koha-conf.xml file:
. backup directory: <backupdir>/var/spool/koha/kohadev</backupdir>
. enable database and configuration dumps (change 0 to 1):
<!-- Enable the two following to allow superlibrarians to download
database and configuration dumps (respectively) from the Export
tool -->
<backup_db_via_tools>1</backup_db_via_tools>
<backup_conf_via_tools>1</backup_conf_via_tools>
2. Running koha-run-backups so that the downloadable backups are created and available. Example: koha-run-backups --days 2 --output /var/spool/koha
3. This can be done either as a one-off, or as a setup as a cronjob so that it runs regularly.
Areas in the manual to update or cross-reference:
- tools.rst: https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/tools.html#export-data
- cron_jobs.rst: https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/cron_jobs.html#backup - this covers a different option that is a separate script to run a database backup and set it up as a cron job, once the relative merits of the different approaches are worked out add across-reference to how to do backups with koha-run-backups
Ideas for improvement:
- Look at adding something/section/guide about system administration activities and tasks (as opposed to these are the cron jobs available, and the Koha package commands).
No, because the backup is not finalizing. $koha-dump instance Dumping Koha site instace: |
