Automated Backups

In v2.0 and later, Snipe-IT can automatically create a zipped backup of your database dump and any files you've uploaded. You can run this command manually by entering:

php artisan snipeit:backup

To set up the cron to run every day, set up your crontab as:

@daily /path/to/php /path/to/your/snipe-it/artisan snipeit:backup

To set it to run every week, use:

@weekly /path/to/php /path/to/your/snipe-it/artisan snipeit:backup

You will need to make sure that mysqldump is installed and set in your path. If mysqldump isn't in your path, you can set it manually by copying /app/config/packages/schickling/backup/config.example.php to /app/config/packages/schickling/backup/config.php and updating the mysqldump path information.
