FiveO Backup

Installation and configuration guide for FiveO Backup, a Windows program designed to run regularly scheduled backups of your MySQL Database.

💡 FiveO Backup Configuration – Setup & Configuration Guide

Welcome to the FiveO MySQL Backup System! This guide walks you through each configuration field to ensure your database backups are correctly set up and secured.

🔹 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:

Go to your Discord Server > Settings > Integrations > Webhooks.
Click New Webhook, name it, and copy the Webhook URL.
Paste it here.

⚠️Keep Webhooks Private We recommend setting the webhooks target channel to Admin-only to protect sensitive files.

🔍 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:

Check typical locations:
- C:\Program Files\MariaDB <version>\bin\mysqldump.exe
- C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqldump.exe
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.
