Backup & Restore Integration in Dash SaaS

How To Use the Backup & Restore Add-On?

• To create a new backup, click the “Create” button at the top of the backup page. This functionality is available only in the Super Admin Panel, ensuring that backup operations are restricted to authorized administrators.
• Configure your backup settings by using the Database Backup toggle to turn on or off database backup functionality. When enabled, enter the Database Name that you want to include in the backup process.
• Use the Files Backup toggle to enable or disable file backup functionality. When enabled, specify the File Name for the backup archive.
• If you select Files Backup only, the system will create a full backup of all project files, which can then be downloaded from this page.
• Similarly, selecting Database Backup only will generate a complete backup of the selected database for download. You can also enable both options to create a comprehensive backup that includes both database content and project files.

• The list page displays all backup records with columns for No, File Name, Type, and Created At timestamp. Use the Search button to locate specific backup files and the Export button to download backup information for record-keeping purposes.
• Available actions include Download to retrieve the backup file to your local system for storage or restoration purposes, and Delete to permanently remove backup files that are no longer needed. The Type column indicates whether the backup contains database content, files, or both, helping you quickly identify the appropriate backup for restoration needs.

System-Defined Backup Path

• All created backups are securely stored within the project directory under clearly defined paths. Database backup files are saved in the uploads/Database_Backup folder, while project file archives are stored in the uploads/Files_Backup directory.
• These structured storage paths make it easy for administrators to access, organize, and manage backup files directly from the server. Each file can be manually retrieved or restored as needed, ensuring clear traceability and efficient recovery processes.

Secure Access Control for Critical Operations

• Access to the Backup & Restore Add-On is strictly limited to Superadmins to ensure the highest level of data protection. By allowing only authorized personnel to manage backups and restorations, the system safeguards against accidental data loss or unauthorized modifications. This restriction maintains operational integrity while upholding organizational security standards.
