Backup

If you make a mistake with your wallabag and lose data, or you need to move your wallabag to another server, you’ll want to backup your data. This article describes what you need to backup.

Basic settings

wallabag stores some basic parameters (like SMTP server or database backend) in the file app/config/parameters.yml.

Database

As wallabag supports different kinds of databases, the way to perform the backup depends on the database you use, so you need to refer to the vendor documentation.

Here’s some examples:

• MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/backup-methods.html
• PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/backup.html

SQLite

To backup the SQLite database, you just need to copy the directory data/db from the wallabag application directory.

Pictures

The pictures retrieved by wallabag are stored under web/assets/images.
