Command Guide To Backing Up Bookstack

This is done for this bookstack here.

Changing to the projects directory /var/www/bookstack

cd /var/www/bookstack

Use mysqldump
-u is for user
-p is for password
*the bookstack following the -p in the code is the name of the database and not the password. You will enter the password.*
This will make you enter a password for the mysql root user in order to backup the database.
*Change the date, I will update this code to use the current time instead of manually putting it in.

sudo mysqldump -u root -p bookstack | sudo tee bookstack.backup_3_28_24.sql > /dev/null

Copying that backup file to the network share example:

sudo cp -r bookstack.backup_3_28_24.sql /mnt/localcloud/BookStack_Backups/

Backup the Storage / Uploads / Themes / Public

sudo tar -czvf bookstack-files-backup_3_28_24.tar.gz .env public/uploads storage/uploads themes

Copy that to the network share:

cp bookstack-files-backup_3_28_24.tar.gz /mnt/localcloud/BookStack_Backups/

The backup is now on the network share...
