Desired Feature: system integrated backup/Restore
I write some books using BookStackApp , but the host machine have no internet access. so I build a VPS in vultr.com and I want to export all books to bookstackapp in the VPS . I search the issues and find out there
s a "backup and restore" using mysqldump and tar. But I cant run the mysqldump because I cant login to the old host machine( for security they said). so , Im wondering is there anyway to backup and restore from the BookStackApp admin console or what ? that will be more convenience.@Shackelford-Arden commented on GitHub (Jun 25, 2018):
@changchichung If you're unable to complete the documentation provided then you might be out of luck.
Would you have the option of exporting each book via the UI? This was added in a recent release. It's not pretty but you'd at least have the content. When you're on the page for a given book, there's an export option (so long as you're on a recent release of Bookstack, I can't find which version you actually need):
Looking around, they're looking at adding the functionality to backup from the UI (which would then allow you to import on another machine. See #723 for more information.

Do you have any other access to the old host? FTP or anything? You could use phpmyadmin or adminer to backup the whole database (files/uploads not included).
Depending on the provider they will create a dump for you if they disallow you the login to do it yourself.

Ooh good points @lommes I didn't think about that.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you @changchichung !
