Akeneo Backup Management

Akeneo Backup Management: This module allows the store owner to take the backup of the database and assets and restore the backup files for the website.

Please follow the below steps for installing the Akeneo Backup Management Connector module in your Akeneo PIM platform.

• Unzip the respective extension zip and then merge the “src” folder into the Akeneo project root directory.

Goto app/AppKernel.php and add the following line in function registerProjectBundles()

new Webkul\BackupManagementBundle\BackupManagementBundle,

Goto app/config/routing.yml and add these lines at top of the file

backup_management_bundle:
    resource: '@BackupManagementBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml'
    prefix: /backup-management

You have to navigate first to Akeneo installation directory (Ex: cd /opt/bitnami/apps/akeneo/htdocs). After SSH, you have to run the command to your Akeneo server by the terminal.

rm -rf ./var/cache/** && php bin/console pim:install:asset --env=prod && php bin/console assets:install web --symlink --relative --env=prod && yarn run webpack && php bin/console d:s:u --force

It might happen that even after proper installation, upon opening your Akeneo admin dashboard, you see a loading screen. In that case, do check for the following solution:

• Webpack Installation: If you get the below error

It means that a web pack is not installed in your system. Run the following command

npm install --save-prod webpack npm install

• Module routing.yml is not configured properly. Re-check the routing.yml file as mentioned in the 3rd step of Module Installation
• Clear your browser cache.

After successfully installing the module in Akeneo, you will see the backup manager connector icon in Akeneo from the bottom left as shown below.

With the help of this module, you can do two things:
