•  After unzipping the appropriate extension zip, merge the “src” folder into the Akeneo project.
• From the PIM directory, run the following command over the NO-DOCKER Instance.

./src/Webkul/BackupManagementBundle/install/config.sh COMPOSER=false NO_DOCKER=true

• After that run the command below over the PIM directory’s DOCKER instance.

./src/Webkul/BackupManagementBundle/install/config.sh COMPOSER=false NO_DOCKER=false

Please follow the below steps for installing the Akeneo Backup Management module in your Akeneo PIM platform.

1 – Unzip the respective extension zip then merge the “src” folder into the Akeneo project root directory.

2 – Then goto config/Bundles.php and add a line:

Webkul\BackupManagementBundle\BackupManagementBundle::class => ['all' => true],

In return Array.

3 – Copy the “config” folder into the akeneo project root directory for routing.

4 – Run the following command after ssh to your akeneo server by terminal:

For non-docker instances:

rm -rf var/cache/ && php bin/console BackupManagement:setup:install

And For docker instances:

For Akeneo 5

alias docker_php='docker-compose run -u www-data --rm php php';
alias docker_yarn='docker-compose run -u node --rm node yarn';
docker_php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod;
docker_php bin/console pim:installer:assets --symlink --clean --env=prod;
docker_php bin/console d:s:u --force;
docker_yarn run webpack;
docker_yarn run update-extensions;
docker_yarn run less;

For Akeneo 4

alias docker_php='docker-compose run -u www-data --rm php php';
alias docker_yarn='docker-compose run -u node --rm node yarn';
docker_php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod;
docker_php bin/console pim:installer:assets --symlink --clean --env=prod;
docker_php bin/console d:s:u --force;
docker_yarn run webpack;
docker_yarn run less;

5. If you are using PHP-fpm. Then you need to restart the PHP-fpm services and apache web server.

For Akeneo 5

sudo service php-fpm7.4 restart

For Akeneo 4

sudo service php-fpm7.3 restart

Please follow the below steps for installing the Akeneo Backup Management Connector module in your Akeneo PIM platform.

• Unzip the respective extension zip then merge the “src” folder into the Akeneo project root directory.

Goto app/AppKernel.php then add the following line in function registerProjectBundles()

 new Webkul\BackupManagementBundle\BackupManagementBundle(),

Goto app/config/routing.yml then add these lines at top of the file

backup_management_bundle:
    resource: '@BackupManagementBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml'
    prefix: /

You have to navigate first to Akeneo installation directory (Ex: cd /opt/bitnami/apps/akeneo/htdocs). After SSH, you have to run the following command to your Akeneo server by the terminal.

rm -rf var/cache/ && php bin/console BackupManagement:setup:install

If you are using PHP-fpm. Then you need to restart the PHP-fpm services and apache web server.

sudo service php-fpm7.2 restart

It might happen that even after proper installation, upon opening your Akeneo admin dashboard, you see a loading screen. In that case, do check for the following solution:

• Webpack Installation: If you get the below error

It means that a web pack is not installed in your system. Run the following command

npm install --save-prod webpack npm install

• Module routing.yml is not configured properly. Re-check the routing.yml file as mentioned in the 3rd step of Module Installation
• Clear your browser cache.

• From the PIM directory, run the command below over the NO-DOCKER Instance.

./src/Webkul/BackupManagementBundle/uninstall/uninstall.sh COMPOSER=false NO_DOCKER=true

• Run the command below over the PIM directory’s DOCKER instance.

./src/Webkul/BackupManagementBundle/uninstall/uninstall.sh COMPOSER=false NO_DOCKER=false

After successfully installing the module in Akeneo, you will see the “Akeneo Backup Management” icon in Akeneo from the bottom left as shown below.

With the help of this module, you can do two things:

• Backup Configuration:- In this, you can take the backup of the database and assets.
• Restore Backup:- In this, you can restore old backup files like the database and assets.

Admin can configure database backup by navigating to Backup >> Backup Configuration.

Then you can add a new backup by clicking on New Backup.

After that add the backup code after that click on the Save button.

Then after clicking on the save button, it will redirect to the new page where you need to select the backup, backup code, backup type(database, assets), and enter the internal path.

After that click on the Save button. Then click on the Execute button.

Admin can restore the backup by navigating to Backup>>Restore Backup.

After that click on the Execute button to restore the old data.

Note – If you want to store data on Oracle and use it on other software with the help of API then you can use the Oracle Akeneo Connector extension.
