wpbackup2 0.2.4

Backup and restore all your self-hosted WordPress content

# py-wordpress-backup

A Python package for backing up and restoring a self-hosted WordPress installation, including the database and uploaded content.

The backup file will contain:

• Your database as a MySQL dump.

• An exact copy of your entire WordPress directory.

## TODO

• Unit tests.

• Handle wp-config.php being somewhere other than the default location.

## Installation

`shell pip install wpbackup2 `

## Usage

To backup:

` python3 -m wpbackup2 --backup --wp-dir /www/wordpress --archive ~/backup.tar.gz `

Note that the current release of py-wordpress-backup expected wp-config.php to exist within your WordPress directory, and will use it to read your database credentials to perform the backup. Keeping your wp-config.php file in this location might not be the best practice, and I’ll likely handle this in a future update.

To restore using database admin credentials held in AWS Secrets Manager:

`shell python3 -m wpbackup2 --restore --wp-dir /www/wordpress --archive ~/backup.tar.gz --admin-credentials-aws-secret-id AdminUserSecretID --admin-credentials-aws-region eu-west-1 `

To restore with specified database admin credentials:

`shell python3 -m wpbackup2 --restore --wp-dir /www/wordpress --archive ~/backup.tar.gz --admin-user admin --admin-password trustno1 --new-site-url https://new.site.url --new-site-host https://new.site.url --new-db-host --new-db-port 3306 --new-db-name new-wordpress-db-name `
