PHPBU, PHP Backup Framework and Utility

PHPBU is a php tool that creates and encrypts backups, syncs your backups to other servers or cloud services and assists you monitor your backup creation. The software requires PHP >= 7.2, but old version exists for older PHP, and released under an open source license. PHPBU could be easily integrated with Laravel framework via laravel-phpbu.

To use it simply create an xml config file like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpbu xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://schema.phpbu.de/5.0/phpbu.xsd">
  <backups>
    <backup name="MyDatabase">
      <!-- source -->
      <source type="mysqldump">
        <option name="databases" value="mydbname"/>
        <option name="user" value="user.name"/>
        <option name="password" value="topsecret"/>
      </source>
      <!-- where should the backup be stored -->
      <target dirname="backup/mysql"
              filename="mysqldump-%Y%m%d-%H%i.sql"
              compress="bzip2"/>
      <!-- check the created backup -->
      <check type="SizeMin" value="10M"/>
      <!-- cleanup the backup location -->
      <!-- as soon as all created backups exceed 500MB remove oldest backups -->
      <cleanup type="Capacity">
        <option name="size" value="500M"/>
      </cleanup>
    </backup>
  </backups>
</phpbu>

Then create a backup directory that holds all created backups and put the xml config file created in your working directory. Then run the phpbu.phar and you should get something like this :
