Backup Profiles

Profiles define what gets backed up, how it's compressed, where it's stored, and what to exclude.

Default Profile

A default profile is created on install with these settings:

  • Type: Full site (database + files)
  • Format: ZIP, compression level 5
  • Backup dir: administrator/components/com_mokobackup/backups
  • Excluded dirs: backups dir, tmp, cache, logs, administrator/logs
  • Excluded files: .gitignore, .htaccess.bak
  • Excluded tables: #__session

Backup Types

Type Database Files Use Case

Database Only Yes No Quick DB backup before changes
Files Only No All files Code/media backup
Differential Yes (full) Changed only Fast daily backups between weekly fulls
