Backing up and restoring Redmine

Backup

Redmine backups should include:
  • Database
  • Attachments (stored in the files directory of your Redmine install)

Backing up database

MySQL

The mysqldump command can be used to backup the contents of your MySQL database to a text file. For example:

/usr/bin/mysqldump -u <username> -p<password> <redmine_database> > /path/to/backup/db/redmine.sql

PostgreSQL

The pg_dump command can be used to backup the contents of a PostgreSQL database to a text file. Here is an example:

/usr/bin/pg_dump -U <username> -Fc --file=redmine.sqlc <redmine_database>

SQLite

SQLite databases are all contained in a single file, so you can back them up by copying the file to another location.

Backing up attachments

All file uploads are stored in the files/ directory. You can copy the contents of this directory to another location to easily back it up.

Sample backup script

Here is a simple shell script that can be used for daily backups (assuming you're using a MySQL database):

# Database
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u <username> -p<password> <redmine_database> | gzip > /path/to/backup/db/redmine_`date +%Y-%m-%d`.gz

# Attachments
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/backup/files
