DBBT

Database Backup Tool

What can this do?

This tool is written by PHP. If your website is also written by PHP, then using this tool does not require additional environment requirements. (The version requirements are described in Compatibility section below)

This tool supports both physical and logical backups. Due physical backup just is file copy, so the backup method supported all databases. However the logical backup only supports MySQL (and MariaDB), in the future will support more databases.

This tool also supports both local and remote storage. The support storage way is detailed below.
