Introduction

Cakebox uses multibackup to create daily backups of critical box files which are then stored on your local machine for safe keeping.

Good to know

• backups can be found on your local machine in the /.cakebox/backups folder
• backup retention: 90 days
• to manually start the backup run sudo multibackup inside your box
• backups are created daily at 5:00 AM. To change:
• edit /etc/cron.d/backup-liveconfig (visit crontab guru for help)
• reload cron by running sudo service cron reload

Configuration

The default configuration file /home/vagrant/.multibackup.conf will backup:

• all app.php and .env configuration files found in /home/vagrant (recursively)
• the full database server with all databases (using Percona Xtrabackup)
• /etc/nginx
• /home/vagrant/.cakebox

Additional folders can be added to the backups by specifying them in the configuration file.
