You can login into console and run command bench backup , it will take latest backup, then from UI you can download backup.

Also if your scheduler is not enable, you can enable it using bench enable-scheduler command to enable auto back

Try this Amarjeet

  1. Find out the IP address of the server that run erpnext
  • ‘open a terminal’ to access the Linux command line where you enter: ifconfig -a
  • look there to find an ip address listed like this
    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:70:5b:f1
    inet addr:192.168.0.37 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
  1. ssh login to the frappe user account on the server
  • from the command line: ‘ssh frappe@192.168.0.37’
    at the password prompt try entering ‘frappe’

  1. Now enter: ‘cd bench-frappe’

  2. Now run the backup help
    frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$ bench backup --help
    Usage: bench backup [OPTIONS]
    Backup
    Options:
    –with-files Take backup with files
    –help Show this message and exit.
    frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$

Hi clarkej

Nice entry,

backup files are located in
/home/username/frappe-bench/sites/currentsitename/private/backup

where username and currentsitename are site specific eg user account name and current site name.
