widget.backup.include

c::set('widget.backup.include', ['projects', 'blog']);

• description: array of folders to include from the backup. Note that if you use widget.backup.exclude, all folders will be included no matter what you set in widget.backup.include.
• default: by default, all folders inside content/ are included

widget.backup.exclude

c::set('widget.backup.exclude', ['error']);

• description: array of folders to exclude from the backup. Note that if used, widget.backup.include will be ignored.
• default: []

widget.backup.include_site

c::set('widget.backup.include_site', false);

• description: whether to include root files and site options. Set this to true if you want to backup your site.LANG.txt etc.
• default: false

widget.backup.destination

c::set('widget.backup.destination', 'backups');

• description: set the destination directory for the backup files. Accept subdirectory by using 'dir' . DS . 'subdir'. Note that the directory will be placed in content/ no matter what. This is mainly used to avoid collisions if you already have a directory called backups in content/. If the directory does not exist, it will be automatically created with CHMOD 0777. Finally, note that this backup directory will always be exluded, to avoid recursion.
• default: backups

widget.backup.overwrite

c::set('widget.backup.overwrite', true);

• description: set it to false if you don't want to allow backups overwrite. If set to false and a backup file with the same name already exists, the widget will show an alert error message.
• default: true

widget.backup.date_format

c::set('widget.backup.date_format', 'Y-m-d');

• description: set the date format used to name the backup file. See function.date.php for available formats.
• default: Y-m-d

Security

It is recommended to limit access to your backup files by placing them behing a firewall.

Here is a quick way to prevent unauthorised user to download your backups :

config.php

c::set('routes', [
  [
    'pattern' => 'content/backups/(:any)',
    'action' => function ($file) {
      if (site()->user()) {
        // only logged users have access to content/backups files
        page('backups')->files()->find($file)->download();
      } else {
        header::forbidden();
        die('Unauthorized access');
      }
    }
  ]
]);

.htaccess

# block backups from being accessed directly
RewriteRule ^content/backups/(.*)$ index.php [L]

If you want more detail about it, see how to build an asset firewall.

Todo

• [ ] change basic url ?action= parameters for a more robust widget routing solution
• [ ] add confirmation modal before deleting
• [ ] swtich to .gitignore like exclude / include path patterns

Requirements

• Kirby 2.0+
