Manual update¶

For this guide we'll assume that your cBackup is installed in /opt/cbackup

1. Create backups (or even better - make full system snapshot):

   $ tar czf /opt/backup-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).tar.gz -C /var/www/html .
   $ mysqldump -u root -p cbackup | gzip > /opt/backup-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).sql.gz
   

2. Download the latest update

   $ wget http://cbackup.me/latest?package=update -P /opt -O update.tar.gz
   

3. Create lock file in your cBackup installation folder to enable maintentance mode, blocking access to the interface

   $ touch /var/www/html/update.lock
   

4. Stop the service
   In case of systemd use sudo systemctl stop cbackup
   In case of SysVinit use sudo service cbackup stop
   
   

5. Unpack downloaded archive to your cBackup installation overriding all files

   $ tar -xzf /opt/update.tar.gz -C /opt/cbackup
   

6. Remove archive

   $ rm -f /opt/update.tar.gz
   

7. Restore permissions
   If you have nginx or running web server with another user:group - adjust corresponding data

   $ chown -R apache:apache /opt/cbackup
   

8. Update database

   $ /opt/cbackup/yii migrate
   

9. Flush cache and runtime resources

   $ /opt/cbackup/yii cache/flush-all
   $ /opt/cbackup/yii asset/flush-all
   

10. Start service

    $ sudo systemctl start cbackup
    

11. Remove lock file

    $ rm /opt/cbackup/update.lock
