I've had a couple of clients recently asking me about back up strategies. There are lots of viable and good backup strategies out there and the fabfile included with Mezzanine does some backing up as well.
That in mind there is still something about an admin being able to backup a site at any time that can give some people peace of mind. To that end I created https://bitbucket.org/joshcartme/mezzanine-admin-backup. It adds /admin/backup/ which will create and respond with a zip file containing the site's current media library and a dump/copy of the database. It's probably still rough around the edges and has some caveats: - I'm fairly certain it will only work with media libraries on the local filesystem (I'm not super up on the Django storages so I'm not sure how hard this would be to generalize) - Likewise it currently only works with databses on the local filesystem (this may be pretty easy to change) - I don't have a postgres powered site around to test it on so although I think it will properly dump a postgres database, I'm not 100% certain about that If anyone thinks it's useful and wants to play with it and fork/improve/test/whatever that would be great. If there is any interest in merging this into Mezzanine that would be great or it works just fine standalone as well. In case you missed it the repo is, https://bitbucket.org/joshcartme/mezzanine-admin-backup Thanks, Josh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
