After searching in the net for a consistent SQL backup tool for XAMPP I ended doing my own tool because I haven't found something that fits my needs. This tool backups all SQL databases of a XAMPP installation, then compress them in .gz format to save disk space. You can also schedule the backups and restore them with only few key presses. It has many advantages because the scripts are modular and designed to work with XAMPP.
Here's why:
- Your time should be focused on make something else than backup manually your databases with phpMyAdmin. A project that solves a problem, saves time and helps others.
- You shouldn't be doing the same tasks over and over again.
- You should make a backup of htdocs aswell, so you can restore full server saving so much time/disk space 😄
Of course, maybe this project is in beta stage and maybe doesn't fit your project since your needs may be different. So I'll be adding more features in the near future. You may also suggest changes by forking this repo and creating a pull request or opening an issue. Thanks to all the people have contributed to expanding this project!
Use the README.md to get started.
This section list frameworks/libraries used to bootstrap the project.
The program is packed under xampp_tools.exe package. You can also download .bat files alone to fit your needs, they work standalone aswell.
You will need to install XAMPP first (and install MySQL as a service so the scheduler can do the backup task). You will also need Visual C++ Redistributables and 7z for database compression.
- Get it free at Visual C++ Redistributables
- Get it free at 7zip
- Download the xamp_tools.exe and copy/move it to your main XAMPP directory (ex. "C:\xampp").
- Open it, so you can follow on screen instructions to backup/restore your databases.
- Scheduler: You can schedule SQL backups from here, as long as make instant backups and restore all the databases.
