Backed up every night, restored in a few clicks.

In most cases, yes. BackupGuard exports the database in PHP and does not need mysqldump, which is often missing or forbidden on shared hosting and in Docker containers. As soon as it is enabled, the module dashboard shows a diagnostic of your server.

Encrypted backups use the standard format of the openssl command, so they open on any machine with this command:

openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -in backup.zip.enc -out backup.zip

The resulting zip contains database.sql, manifest.json and the documents folder.

A local copy is always made. You can add, at the same time, a WebDAV space (Nextcloud, ownCloud, kDrive, Infomaniak), S3-compatible storage (AWS, Scaleway, OVH, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, MinIO), an FTP or FTPS server, and an SFTP server if the PHP ssh2 extension is present. The "Test connection" button writes then deletes a test file, and shows you the remote server's real error if it fails.

Use the trigger URL with a secret key, which you will find in the settings. An external cron service, or any daily call to that address, is enough. The Dolibarr scheduled job and a command-line script are still available if you need them.

Yes. Install a fresh Dolibarr with only BackupGuard, then start the restore from the browser. The module analyses the file without changing anything and first makes a safety backup of the current state. If the restore stops halfway, the "Back to the previous state" button takes you back to where you started. For very large databases, a command-line script is provided.

In a container, the Dolibarr files come from the image and would be overwritten the next time it is recreated. The module therefore shows you the steps to follow instead of changing the files. On regular hosting or a server, the update is done from the browser, after a full backup, and you can go back to the previous files.
