release Automatic Backup System (SF+DB) For Local & Remote Use

[Andromeda]

Hello everyone,

I am excited to share a PHP script I developed to facilitate the backup of both database and server files, allowing for both local and remote storage solutions.

In addition, I integrated a feature that sends a notification to a designated channel on my Discord server once the backup process completes successfully.

The script offers flexibility, allowing you to enable or disable certain functionalities. This means you can choose to back up only your database, your server files, or opt-out of Discord notifications entirely.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Install the Zip Package on Your Game Server: If you’re using FreeBSD, simply run the following command to install the zip package:

5. Set up Automation: To automate the backup process, create a cron job with your preferred schedule.

Important Notes

• Script Deployment: Keep in mind that the script runs on your web server rather than your game server (I’m using Ubuntu for the web server).
• Security Precautions: Don’t forget to change the API key for security purposes.
• Backup Storage: Avoid placing your backups in publicly accessible directories. Instead, store them in a location outside of the /public_html folder.
• Directory Permissions: Ensure that the directories you utilize on your web server have the appropriate permissions set.

Discord Notification Setup

After you create your webhook, make sure to replace the URL in line 34 of cron.php with your own webhook URL.
