Feature Request - Database Download

MikeHarrison · Apr 11th 2019

Hi,

Something I think would be useful is a "Download Database" button somewhere in the Perch / Perch Runway admin area. To trigger a download of a zipped copy of the .sql file.

Would this be possible / would anyone else find this useful?

Cheers

Mike

You can basically do this with the Backup in Runway. Set up a bucket that points to a Dropbox folder and then click the Backup Now option. A dump of the database will be synced in via Dropbox.

Hi Drew,

Yes I have done that with the site I am working on currently, which is fine. It's just a few hoops to jump through to pull down the latest database for working on locally, compared to a button within Perch.

If you point your local and production systems to the same remote bucket, you can backup from production and then click restore locally to import it all. Two clicks!
