Setup BackupHP
This guide shows you how to setup BackupHP
We assume you already purchased a license and have your license key and the backu.ph file on hand
Configure backu.php
1) Open the backu.php
file in your favorite editor.
2) Enter your license key and a private password
As your private password is used to encrypt your backup, we require you to use a password with at least 10 chars length.
Our team will never ask you for that password! Please write it down in some safe place, because without it neither you not us can restore your backups!
Add the trigger to your main page
We decided to use a JavaScript trigger for the backup to keep the load on the server low.
Please add the following JavaScript snippet to the end of the body of your main file (Normally that one is called index.html
)
As with this JavaScript trigger the backup can only run when the page is accessed. If your site is only visited once per week, than we only to a backup once per week.
Upload files to your server
Use your favorite FTP tool to upload the files you changed (index.html
and backu.php
) to your server.
Please ensure that backup.php
is in your main folder and accessable via your top level.
E.g. Your top level domain is backuphp.com
than the file should be accessible
via backuphp.com/backu.php
Test the integration
1) Open your webbrowser and in there the developer console
Firefox: Strg + Shift + J
Chrome: Strg + Shift + J
2) Open your webpage
3) See the console output. If the console tells you the following, all went well with your backup:
Done! Now your automatic backup is set up. Easy, wasn't it?
