  • PP Backup Manager is a module for PrestaShop , which organises the process of performing database backups : manually in the administration or automatically when called by cron.

    The module has been prepared with installations in mind where standard backup can cause problems with larger amounts of data. The batch processing mechanism (configurable chunk size ) helps reduce the risk of timeouts and interruptions.

    In practice, you get a consistent standard: backup archive with limit, e-mail after backup execution (optional) and history of actions in logs and statistics.

    What does PP Backup Manager solve?

    • Backup "on the spot" before update — copy with one click, without guessing "if it was made".
    • Problems in larger databases — batch work allows better adaptation of backup to server capabilities.
    • Growing archive — limit on storing copies and automatic deletion of older files.
    • Lack of result information — e-mail notification after success or error (optional).
    • Lack of action history — logs and statistics facilitate control and service support.

    Main benefits

    • Less pressure during deployments — database copy before changes is a simple "backup plan".
    • Automation on your terms — backup runs cron exactly when you set it on the server.
    • Order without manual cleaning — backup limit keeps the archive in check.
    • Quick reaction — e-mail with result instead of manual checking of backup directory.
    • More privacy — possibility of skipping selected statistical data and disabling download link.

    Features — Back Office

    Manual copy in the panel

    You create a database copy from the administration level when you need it (e.g. before update).

    Automation via cron (token URL)

    The module provides a URL for cron with security token. Each URL call creates a new copy.

    SQL or ZIP format

    You choose SQL file or ZIP (compressed SQL) — depending on requirements and disk space.

    Batch work (chunk size)

    You set the number of rows processed at once, which helps avoid problems on larger databases.

    Backup limit and automatic cleaning

    Older copies are deleted automatically after exceeding the set limit.

    E-mail notifications

    Optional e-mail after backup: information about success or error with request for reaction.

    Optional download link (24 hours)

    You can attach a direct download link to the e-mail (valid for 24 hours). The function can be disabled.

    Statistics and logs

    Backup statistics and event logs facilitate monitoring and diagnosis, also in service work.

    Additional settings that make a difference

    • Token regeneration — quick exchange of token for cron URL when you want to increase security.
    • Test mode — possibility of simulating copy creation (useful for configuration verification).
    • Skipping statistical data — option to remove selected data (e.g. connections, views, guest data) before backup.

    Features — Front Office

    No changes for customers

    The module works in administration. It does not add elements in the shop and does not change the purchase path.

    Indirect effect: faster restoration of operation

    Backup + action history facilitate database restoration after failure or deployment error.

    Automation (cron) — how does it work?

    1. You install the module and enable automatic copies in the configuration.
    2. In the module you receive cron URL with token (you can also regenerate the token).
    3. On the server you set cron (e.g. daily at 03:00), which will call this URL.
    4. Each URL call creates a copy and cleans the archive according to the limit.

    Privacy and security

    • Copy files are stored in the module directory and additionally secured against accidental access.
    • Download link in e-mail is optional — convenient, but reduces privacy. In sensitive environments, it is recommended to disable this function.
    • Skipping statistical data can reduce the amount of data in the copy and limit the transfer of information about traffic/visits.

    Who is PP Backup Manager for?

    • for shop owners , who want a simple and repeatable database backup process,
    • for shops with larger amounts of data , where standard solutions can be problematic,
    • for agencies and caretakers of multiple shops , who need a standard and action history,
    • for teams , who want to monitor backups (statistics + logs) and react faster to errors.

    FAQ

    Does the module make a copy of the entire shop (files, photos)?
    No. The module performs a database copy. File copies (e.g. images) should be carried out separately on the server side.
    How does automatic backup work?
    Automation is carried out by cron on the server. Cron calls the specified URL with token, and the module creates a copy with each call.
    In what format will I receive the copy?
    You can choose SQL file or ZIP (compressed SQL).
    Can I disable the download link in the e-mail?
    Yes. The download link is optional and can be disabled at any time in the configuration.
    How long does the download link work?
    The link in the e-mail is valid for 24 hours from generation.
    Operational note: Periodically verify backups (e.g. restoration test in a test environment or file integrity check). This is a practice that increases certainty that the backup will be useful in an emergency situation.
