Backup wallabag

Because sometimes you may do a mistake with your wallabag and lose data or in case you need to move your wallabag to another server you want to backup your data. This articles 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 database, 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 (the images storage will be implemented in wallabag 2.2).
