🚀 Overview

Easy Backup adds reliable scheduled backups to your RISE CRM instance — protecting
client data, invoices, files, and configuration with automated jobs, encryption, and off-site storage. Built from
real incident-response experience, it reduces downtime risks and simplifies recovery after human error,
server failure, or malware incidents.

Who it’s for: agencies, SaaS teams, MSPs, and finance/ops teams running RISE CRM in production.

✨ Key Features

• Full & Partial Backups: Database-only, files-only, or full instance (uploads, configs, custom modules).
• Automated Scheduling: Hourly, daily, weekly via cron; manual one-click snapshots.
• Off-Site Destinations: Amazon S3/compatible (Wasabi, MinIO), Google Drive, SFTP/FTP, or local storage.
• Encryption at Rest: AES-256 archives using your secret key; optional password-protected ZIP/TAR.
• Retention & Rotation: Keep-last-N, age-based deletion, and size caps to control storage costs.
• Smart Exclusions: Skip cache/temp folders; include custom paths.
• Integrity Checks: Hash verification and post-upload success reports.
• Restore Tools: Guided restore for DB and files with pre-flight checks & safety snapshot.
• Notifications: Email/Slack (webhook) alerts for success/failure and low-space warnings.
• Audit Log: Timestamped history of runs, size, duration, and operator notes.
• Multi-Instance Friendly: Tag and isolate backups per environment (dev/stage/prod).
• Localization & RTL: Admin UI ready for global teams.

⚙️ Technical Stack & Requirements

• Platform: RISE CRM (CodeIgniter/PHP) add-on; integrates with RISE permissions and UI.
• Language: PHP 8.x compatible; shell utilities optional for compression (zip/tar/gzip).
• Database: MySQL/MariaDB dump via CLI or PDO fallback.
• Server Extensions: cURL, JSON, OpenSSL, Zip, PDO, allow_url_fopen; cron access for scheduling.
• Destinations: S3 API, Google Drive API (OAuth/Service Account), SFTP/FTP credentials.
• Security: CSRF protection, signed callbacks, role-based access (admins only by default).

🧩 Installation Guide

1. Backup RISE first: make a quick server snapshot or manual DB dump (good practice).
2. Upload the add-on folder to application/modules/ (or the modules path used by your RISE version).
3. Log in as Admin → Modules → enable Easy Backup → run installer/migrations.
4. Open Settings > Backups → connect destinations (S3 bucket/Drive/SFTP) and set encryption key.
5. Create a schedule (cron example): * * * * * php /path/to/public/index.php cron schedule:run or your panel’s cron equivalent.
6. Run a manual test backup and verify restore on a staging copy before relying on automation.

🧠 Notes & Best Practices

• License: Distributed under the GPL — modify, reuse, and redistribute per GPL terms.
• 3-2-1 Strategy: Keep 3 copies on 2 media with 1 off-site location; test restores monthly.
• Compliance: Align retention & encryption with GDPR/CCPA and your data-processing agreements.
• Security Tips: Use IAM-limited keys, private buckets, server-side encryption, and rotate credentials regularly.
• Performance: Schedule large backups off-peak; exclude caches; enable incremental file sets if available.
