phpbu: Run backups using a specific configuration file.
$ phpbu --configuration=${path-to-configuration_file-xml}
try on your machine

This command is related to the PHP Backup utility (phpbu). It is used to run a backup job according to a specific configuration file.

Let's break down the command:

  • phpbu: This is the actual command that runs the PHP Backup utility.

  • --configuration=${path-to-configuration_file-xml}: This portion of the command specifies the configuration file that should be used for the backup job. The ${path-to-configuration_file-xml} placeholder should be replaced with the actual path to the configuration file in XML format. The configuration file contains settings such as the source files/folders to backup, destination storage, compression options, and more.

By running this command, the PHPBU utility will execute the backup job based on the provided configuration file, creating a backup of the specified files/folders and storing them in the desired destination.
