Backup of the database
To back up your database, use the native program "mysqldump" of MySQL/MariaDB: Open a console, switch to the directory <installpath-bluespice>
and backup your database with the following command:
mysqldump -u <username> -p --lock-tables <datenbank> > database.sql
For <username>
, use the administrative database user (usually "root"), and for <datenbank>
, use the database of your MediaWiki/BlueSpice installation.
Backup of the file system
Back up the complete directory <installpath-bluespice>
, which now also includes the database image, to a different location on your server.
For security reasons, immediately delete the file<installpath-bluespice>/database.sql
, since it can be accessed from the browser.
