It's build for Strapi v5. It has been tested to work with v5.4.2 and I assume it should keep working with later versions.

⚡ Features

✋ Need to know

• Your data you can find in src/extentions/strapi-v5-database-backup folder.

• This plugin shut down your strapi after restore data, this is because you need to restart your strapi to apply data to work. I doesn't find how i can do it in Strapi, so if you install this plugin and want restore data in production, you need to setup docker-compose with restart: always or use pm2.

• This plugin also restart your strapi in development mode when you create or restore data, this is because the plugin files create in src folder what toggle basic restore functions.

• This plugin work with: PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite.

  },

After that your plugin will be finally added to your Strapi project. You can find it in strapi sidebar.
