# Django Database Backup UI
Django Database Backup UI is an extension of Django Database Backup (django-dbbackup: https://github.com/django-dbbackup/django-dbbackup) that allows you to backup database and media files via Django Admin interface. An additional dbbackup_ui.wagtail module provides support for Wagtail Admin.
## Supported versions
* Django: 1.11
* Wagtail: 1.10
* Python: 3.4+
## Installation
Install using PIP:
`pip install django-dbbackup-ui`
### Regular Django Admin:
1. Add **dbbackup_ui** to INSTALLED_APPS:
`INSTALLED_APPS += ['dbbackup_ui']`
2. Add url to your main **urls.py** just above root admin url:
```
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/backups/', include('dbbackup_ui.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
]
```
3. Granted you're logged in as a Superuser you should now be able to access the backup page via url:
_http://example.com/admin/backups/backup-database-and-media/_
### Wagtail Admin:
1. If you use dbbackup_ui with Wagtail, add **dbbackup_ui.wagtail** to INSTALLED_APPS:
`INSTALLED_APPS += ['dbbackup_ui.wagtail']`
2. Granted you're logged in as a Superuser you should now be able to access the backup page via url:
_http://example.com/admin/backup-database-and-media/_
Additionally, you should see a new menu item labeled Backup DB & Media in the navigation sidebar on the left.
## Usage
When on **Backup Database and Media** page, you should see two buttons: "Download database backup" and "Download media backup". By clicking on one of these buttons, a backup process starts and eventually, a backup file gets downloaded by your browser. Please be advised that clicking on the buttons doesn't create a backup on the server. If you need to create server stored backups, you should use command-line and commands provided by django-dbbackup module.
This extension allows to make a quick backup and get it downloaded to your computer. Don't use this tool if you have large database dumps and / or lots of media. This tool is suitable for small installations.
Also, remember about possible security risks due to exposing backup capabilities to web interfaces. Use at your own risk.
