Pinnacle Content Backups

Scheduled offsite snapshots of your EmDash content and media in your own Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Wasabi or DigitalOcean Spaces bucket, with integrity checks, downloads and restore. Backing up, verifying, downloading and restoring are all part of the free plugin.

Built for Node-hosted EmDash. Cloudflare is supported.

Free and EmDash Pro

The free version includes:

• R2, S3, B2, Wasabi or Spaces storage
• daily or weekly snapshots
• entries, taxonomies and media
• verify, download and full restore
• keeping the newest 1 to 14 snapshots

EmDash Pro is coming soon. It is not on sale yet, so this release has no license key field and makes no license checks. These are the features an EmDash Pro key unlocks in this plugin. The EmDash Pro page lists them for every Pinnacle plugin, and you can ask us there to tell you when it goes on sale.

• backups every 12 hours, every 6 hours or hourly, or at an hour you choose
• the last 1 to 20 revisions of each entry
• longer retention: up to 365 snapshots, or a daily, weekly and monthly policy
• restoring only selected collections, and restoring an older revision as a draft

The free version does not depend on EmDash Pro and keeps working as it is.

Changelog

1.0.0

First public release, by Coding Chicken under the Pinnacle Plugins brand.

• Daily or weekly snapshots of entries, taxonomies and media to R2, S3, B2, Wasabi or Spaces.
• Verify, download and full restore, with a preview and a safety snapshot before every restore.
• Keeps the newest 1 to 14 snapshots, plus one about a month old.
• EmDash Pro is not on sale yet. The Pro features are part of the code and stay switched off. The License panel shows a coming-soon notice with a link to the EmDash Pro page, and the plugin makes no license checks.
• Verified on EmDash 1.3.1, in the plugin sandbox and as a native plugin.

Pick one of three options.

1. From the EmDash plugin registry. In your EmDash admin, find Pinnacle Content Backups in the plugin registry and install it. It runs in the EmDash plugin sandbox, and EmDash shows the plugin's permissions for you to approve.
2. npm, sandboxed. Run npm install @pinnacleplugins/emdash-content-backups, add the plugin to sandboxed: [...] in astro.config.mjs and set sandboxRunner (for example @emdash-cms/sandbox-workerd/sandbox on Node).
3. npm, native. Run npm install @pinnacleplugins/emdash-content-backups and add the plugin to plugins: [...] in astro.config.mjs. It then runs in your site's own process, so use this only on hosts you trust with in-process code.

import emdash from "emdash/astro";
import plugin from "@pinnacleplugins/emdash-content-backups";

// inside defineConfig({ integrations: [...] })
emdash({ plugins: [plugin] }); // native
emdash({ sandboxed: [plugin], sandboxRunner: "@emdash-cms/sandbox-workerd/sandbox" }); // sandboxed on Node

The full README, with limits, permissions and notes for agents, ships with the npm package.
