Akeeba Backup Console Application

Akeeba Backup Console Application

So… I am sure that anyone who uses Joomla has hopefully heard of Akeeba Backup by now. This is a very useful Joomla site backup component that backs up the entire site using ajax technology and incrementally stepping the backup process through to completion so that even large sites can be processed. There is an installer that gets packages as well that allows easily reinstalling into a new site. There is also a JSON API portion to the component that is not enabled by default, but is configurable through the administration panel of Joomla. I have created a console application that I can use in conjunction with windows task scheduler in order to automate backups.

I am looking for feedback and testing of this application – I can provide source code and binaries to all interested.

Post a comment if interested
