Backup and Restore.

Backup OrangeHRM instance.

Since OrangeHRM stores all data in the mariadb database so we will need to backup the whole database.

All backups are stored in ./maria-db/backups directory.
Along with the backup following directories must be manually backed up.

./orangehrm-data/data

For backup of mariadb database we will need to create a directory and set the correct ownership.

mkdir -p ./maria-db/backups
chown -R 1000:1000 ./maria-db/backups

Triggering Backup.

Run following command to trigger the backup. This will create a .sql file containing database.

docker-compose exec -it mariadb /usr/bin/mariadb-dump -u root --password=YOUR_MARIADB_PASSWORD --all-databases > ./maria-db/backups/maria-db-backup.sql

Triggering Restore.

Followings conditions must be met for restore.

  • A working OrangeHRM instance.

Restore.

  • Stop the OrangeHRM container.
docker-compose down orangehrm
  • Restore/Copy the configuration files.
First remove existing directories.
./orangehrm-data/data

Now copy backed up directories.
Copy data to ./orangehrm-data/data
  • Copy the mariadb backup file for restore.
Copy maria-db-backup.sql file to ./maria-db/backups directory.
  • Restore the mariadb backup.
docker-compose exec -T mariadb /usr/bin/mariadb -u root --password=YOUR_MARIADB_PASSWORD < ./maria-db/backups/maria-db-backup.sql

Stop all the container.

docker-compose down

Starting the container.

docker-compose up -d

Checking the container logs.

docker-compose logs -f

Once Backup is restored login to the OrangeHRM instance and verify that all configurations and data are restored.
