Windows FiveO Backup Application

### **🔹 Database Name** This is the name of your FiveM database (commonly `qbcore`, `qbcoreframework_ec012345`, or whatever name you chose during SQL setup).\ To find it: * Open **HeidiSQL**, **phpMyAdmin**, or your preferred DB manager. * Look for the name on the left under your server's connection.\ *The highlighted text in the screenshot above is the name of your database(default). Right click the name, click edit, copy the name and paste into the Configurator.* ### **🔹 Database Username / Password** These are your database login credentials (often `root` by default). * If using **XAMPP**, check your `config.inc.php` or `my.ini`. * If using **MariaDB standalone**, review your setup notes or config file. ❗ **NEVER share these credentials with others.** *** ### **📁 Backup Location** Choose a safe folder where your backup `.sql` files will be saved (e.g., `D:\FiveMBackups` or `C:\Backups\ServerDB`).\ Click **Browse** to pick the folder. The tool will automatically name and rotate your files. *** ### **🔢 Max Backups (1–100)** This sets the number of backup files to retain.\ Example: * If set to `16`, only the **16 most recent backups** are kept. * Older backups will be **automatically deleted** when new ones are created. *** ### **⏱ Backup Frequency (Hours)** How often (in hours) the system should create a new backup. * For hourly backups, enter `1`. * For every 6 hours, enter `6`, etc. *** ### **🔔 Discord Webhook URL (Optional)** Add a Discord webhook to receive backup notifications and full `.sql` file uploads in real-time. To create one: 1. Go to your **Discord Server > Settings > Integrations > Webhooks**. 2. Click **New Webhook**, name it, and copy the **Webhook URL**. 3. Paste it here. {% hint style="warning" %} ⚠️**Keep Webhooks Private**\ We recommend setting the webhooks target channel to **Admin-only** to protect sensitive files. {% endhint %} *** ### **🔍 MySQL/MariaDB Dump Path** This is the path to your `mysqldump.exe`, which is used to export your database. The app tries to auto-locate it, but if needed: 1. Check typical locations: * `C:\Program Files\MariaDB \bin\mysqldump.exe` * `C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqldump.exe` 2. Click **Browse** and select `mysqldump.exe`. 🛑 If this path is wrong or not configured, **backups will fail.** *** ### 🚫 Security Warnings * DO NOT share your **webhook** or **database credentials** with anyone. * Ensure your webhook channels are **locked to administrators only**. * Consider limiting access to this configuration tool for security. *** ### 💬 Need Help?
