EXT: TYPO3 Snapshot¶

What does it do?¶

This extension provides a Backend-Module for an easy import and export of the Database.

So you can create a snapshot of your productive system and import it your development system.

Additionally the extension modifies the localconf.php on the fly with the Development Configuration.

Screenshots¶

No need for a screenshot. There is just the “Import”- or “Export”-Button.

How does it work?¶

The Extension creates a database-dump (without data of caching, logging, etc).

You just have to run the export on your Productive-System.

Copy/Syncronize via FTP the following folders: /typo3conf, /filedamin, /uploads.

Run the import on Development-System.

Notice: After the import it might happen, that you have to login again.
