From the linux command line, these commands let you backup and restore a SugarCRM database.
Firstly, for a proper back up of SugarCRM you’ll need two files, one containing the application files, one containing the SQL database.
First up, the backup…
Backup files:
tar -zcvf CRM-BACKUP-FILES.tar.gz FOLDER-TO-BACKUP/
Backup sql (empty copy of the database):
mysqldump -u USERNAME -p -–no-data > CRM-BACKUP-SQL.sql
Backup sql (with the data) :
mysqldump -u USERNAME -p > CRM-BACKUP-SQL.sql
Then for the restoration…
Restore files (to current folder):
tar -zxvf CRM-BACKUP-FILES.tar.gz
Restore sql:
mysql -u USERNAME -p DATABASENAME < CRM-BACKUP-SQL.sql
