Anyone who has a MySQL database and can run PHP should be able to benefit from this. The solution I came up with is not specific to WordPress or an e-commerce site. It is a great tutorial, but I wanted it to backup and delete the backup at different times - the tutorial backed up and deleted all at the same time. I also found a MySQL backup to Dropbox tutorial (credit where it's due), which some of the code below is based on. The problem is that the plugin only does a backup of the WordPress database, but not my e-commerce database. The plugin allowed me to back up all the files on the site plus it does a WordPress database backup at a frequency you schedule.
I came across the WordPress Backup to Dropbox plugin, which got me about 90% there. It will work on any MySQL database(s) and requires PHP. The issue I was faced with was having my core site built on WordPress, with another database for an e-commerce section of the site, I wanted to backup the entire site (all files, both databases, etc.) to Dropbox on a daily basis.Īfter a lengthy search, I couldn't find anything that did exactly what I was looking for.ĭisclaimer: You don't need to be running WordPress or an e-commerce site for this to work. In the past I have received a lot of help from the SO community, so once I figured this out, I thought here's my opportunity to give back a little.
