Backing up the foreman database

Support
#1

When backing up the Foreman database using "foreman-rake db:dump" is it
possible to specify a destination folder for the backup file ?

Thanks
Adrian

#2

I've answered by own question :slight_smile: Did the sensible thing and looked at the
source for the backup task (/usr/share/foreman/lib/tasks/backup.rake) and
found it has a "destination" parameter.

Thanks
Adrian

Add "destination=/path/to/dump.sql" to the end of the command. Note that
when using foreman-rake, the command executes as the 'foreman' user
rather than your current login, so it will need permission to write to
the destination.
