Plugin Overview

MokoJoomBackup is a Joomla package that ships with seven plugins alongside the main component. All plugins are auto-enabled on installation.

Plugin	Type	Purpose
plg_system_mokojoombackup	System	Auto-cleanup of old backups and web cron endpoint
plg_task_mokojoombackup	Task	Joomla Scheduled Tasks integration
plg_quickicon_mokojoombackup	Quickicon	Dashboard status widget

plg_webservices_mokojoombackup	Web Services	REST API endpoints

Auto-Cleanup (System Plugin)

Automatically removes old backup records and archive files based on age and count limits.

Max Age — Delete backups older than N days (default: 30, range: 1–365)
Max Backups — Keep only the N newest backups (default: 10, range: 1–100)
Runs once per hour on admin page loads (not AJAX), throttled via session
Age-based deletion runs first, then count-based enforcement
Both the archive file and the database record are removed

Configure in System > Plugins > System — MokoJoomBackup.

Dashboard Widget (Quickicon Plugin)

Adds a status widget to the Joomla Home Dashboard showing:

Time since last backup (e.g. "2h ago", "3d ago")
Total backup count and total storage used
Warning states: no backups exist, recent failures, or stale backups (older than 7 days)

Automatic Pre-Update Backups (Content Plugin)

Triggers an automatic backup before Joomla extension installs or updates.

Backup Before Install — Triggers before installing a new extension (default: disabled)
Backup Before Update — Triggers before updating an extension (default: enabled)
Profile — Which backup profile to use for automatic backups
Throttled to one auto-backup per hour to prevent excessive backups
Non-fatal: if the backup fails, a warning is shown but the install/update proceeds

Configure in System > Plugins > Content — MokoJoomBackup.

Action Logging (Action Log Plugin)

Records MokoJoomBackup actions in Joomla's User Action Logs (Users > User Actions Log):

Profile created, updated, or deleted
Backup record deleted
Backup completed or failed

Each log entry includes: user, IP address, item ID, and timestamp.

Details: Last Updated: June 07, 2026

Overview

Placeholders are tokens enclosed in square brackets that are resolved at backup time. Use them in the Backup Directory and Archive Name Format fields of a backup profile to create dynamic, portable paths and filenames.

Available Placeholders

Placeholder	Resolves To	Example
`[DEFAULT_DIR]`	Default backup directory	`administrator/components/com_mokojoombackup/backups`
`[host]`	Server hostname (sanitised)	`www.example.com`
`[site_name]`	Joomla site name (sanitised)	`My-Joomla-Site`
`[date]`	Date as Ymd	`20260607`
`[time]`	Time as His	`143025`
`[datetime]`	Date and time	`20260607_143025`
`[year]`	Four-digit year	`2026`
`[month]`	Two-digit month	`06`
`[day]`	Two-digit day	`07`
`[hour]`	Two-digit hour (24h)	`14`
`[minute]`	Two-digit minute	`30`
`[second]`	Two-digit second	`25`
`[profile_id]`	Backup profile ID	`1`
`[profile_name]`	Profile title (sanitised)	`Daily-Full`
`[type]`	Backup type	`full`, `database`, `files`, `differential`
`[random]`	Random 6-character hex string	`a3f2b1`

Examples

Archive Name Format

Default: [host]_[datetime]_profile[profile_id]

Result: www.example.com_20260607_143025_profile1.zip

Custom: [site_name]_[type]_[date]_[random]

Result: My-Joomla-Site_full_20260607_a3f2b1.zip

Backup Directory

Default: [DEFAULT_DIR] (resolves to the component's backups folder inside the web root)

Outside web root: /home/user/backups/[host]/[year]/[month]

Result: /home/user/backups/www.example.com/2026/06/

Organised by profile: /var/backups/joomla/[profile_name]

Result: /var/backups/joomla/Daily-Full/

Notes

Placeholders are resolved at backup time — the directory is created automatically if it doesn't exist
The [DEFAULT_DIR] placeholder makes profiles portable across different server paths
Directory paths containing unresolved placeholders skip permission checks in the dashboard (they can't be validated until backup time)
Sanitisation removes special characters, keeping only alphanumerics, dots, hyphens, and underscores

Restore Methods

MokoJoomBackup supports three ways to restore a backup:

Admin Panel — Select a backup record and click Restore in the toolbar
CLI — php cli/joomla.php mokojoombackup:restore <record-id>
MokoRestore — Standalone restore script for bare-server deployment (no Joomla required)

Admin Panel Restore

The built-in restore engine runs a six-step process:

Extract archive to a temporary staging directory
Preserve configuration.php so database credentials and paths survive the restore
Restore files from the archive to the Joomla root
Import database from the SQL dump (if present)
Restore configuration.php with the preserved version
Clean up the staging directory

Supports ZIP, tar.gz, and JPA (Akeeba Backup) archive formats. Encrypted archives are supported with a password prompt.

MokoRestore Standalone Script

When Include MokoRestore is enabled in a backup profile, the archive is packaged as:

outer.zip
├── restore.php      (standalone installer)
└── site-backup.zip  (the actual backup)

Upload both files to any PHP server and open restore.php in a browser. The wizard guides you through:

Step 1: Preflight Checks

PHP version (8.1+ required)
Required extensions: ZipArchive, PDO MySQL, mbstring, JSON
Backup file exists and is readable
Directory is writable
Free disk space (500 MB minimum)
PHP memory limit

Step 2: Extract

Extracts the site backup archive. Pre-reads any existing configuration.php to pre-fill database credentials. Supports encrypted archives.

Step 3: Test Database

Enter database credentials and test the connection before proceeding.

Step 4: Import Database

Imports database.sql with foreign key checks disabled. Reports statements executed and any errors.

Step 5: Configuration

Updates or creates configuration.php with your database credentials, paths, a fresh secret key, site name, and live site URL.

Step 6: Admin Management

Lists super administrator accounts and optionally lets you reset a password using bcrypt hashing.

Step 7: Cleanup

Removes restore.php, site-backup.zip, and database.sql artifacts from the server with a self-delete mechanism.

Security

MokoRestore includes CSRF token protection on all forms
Encrypted archive support (AES-256)
Self-contained in a single PHP file — no dependencies
Always delete restore.php after use

Overview

MokoJoomBackup can send email notifications when backups complete or fail. Notifications are configured per profile, giving you fine-grained control over who gets notified and when.

Configuration

Open a backup profile and go to the Notifications tab:

Field	Description
Notification Email	Comma-separated email addresses to receive notifications
Notify User Groups	Select Joomla user groups — all members will receive notifications
Notify on Success	Send email when backup completes successfully (default: No)
Notify on Failure	Send email when backup fails (default: Yes)

Email addresses and user group members are combined. Duplicate addresses are automatically filtered.

Email Content

Subject Line

[MokoJoomBackup] SUCCESS: Daily Full Backup — My Joomla Site
[MokoJoomBackup] FAILED: Daily Full Backup — My Joomla Site

Email Body Includes

Site name and URL
Backup status (success/failure)
Profile name and backup type
Backup description and origin (backend, CLI, scheduled, web cron)
Archive filename and total size
Duration, start time, and end time
Remote filename (if uploaded to FTP/S3/Google Drive)
File count and table count

On failure, the last 30 lines of the backup log are appended to help diagnose the issue.

Tips

For critical production sites, enable Notify on Failure and add the site admin's email
Use user group notifications to automatically include new team members
Notification errors are logged but never block the backup process — a failed email won't cause a backup failure

# Weekly cleanup on Sundays
0 3 * * 0 /usr/bin/php /path/to/joomla/cli/joomla.php mokojoombackup:cleanup --max-age=30 --max-count=10

Details: Last Updated: June 07, 2026

Joomla Scheduled Tasks

MokoJoomBackup integrates with Joomla's built-in Scheduled Tasks (System > Scheduled Tasks). This is the recommended way to automate backups.

Creating a Scheduled Backup

Go to System > Scheduled Tasks > New
Select MokoJoomBackup — Run Backup Profile as the task type
Choose which backup profile to run from the dropdown
Set your schedule (e.g. daily at 2:00 AM, weekly on Sundays)
Save and enable the task

You can create multiple scheduled tasks pointing to different profiles. For example: a daily database-only backup and a weekly full backup.

Joomla Cron Setup

Joomla's Scheduled Tasks require a system-level cron job to trigger the task runner. Add this to your server's crontab:

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/joomla/cli/joomla.php scheduler:run --all

Web Cron (Shared Hosting)

If you don't have access to system cron (common on shared hosting), MokoJoomBackup provides a web cron URL that can be triggered by external cron services.

Setup

Go to Components > MokoJoomBackup > Options (toolbar gear icon)
Enable Web Cron
Set a Web Cron Secret — a long random string that acts as a password
Optionally restrict by IP with the IP Whitelist field

Web Cron URL Format

https://yoursite.com/index.php?mokojoombackup_cron=YOUR_SECRET&profile_id=1

Parameter	Description
`mokojoombackup_cron`	Your web cron secret (required)
`profile_id`	Which backup profile to run (optional, falls back to default profile)

External Cron Services

Use any external cron service (cron-job.org, EasyCron, UptimeRobot, etc.) to hit the web cron URL on your desired schedule. The endpoint returns a JSON response with the backup result.

Security

The web cron secret is compared using timing-safe string comparison to prevent timing attacks
IP whitelist support restricts which addresses can trigger backups
PHP execution limits are automatically overridden (max_execution_time=0, memory_limit=512M)

Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard is the default landing page when you open MokoJoomBackup in the Joomla administrator. It gives you a real-time overview of your backup status, system health, and quick access to common actions.

Status Cards

Four clickable cards appear at the top of the dashboard:

Card	Shows	Links To
Last Backup	Date, profile name, and file size of your most recent completed backup	Backup detail view
Next Scheduled	Date/time and task name of the next scheduled backup	Joomla Scheduled Tasks
Total Backups	Total count of all completed backup records	Backup Records list
Storage Used	Total disk space used by all backup archives, plus a failure count badge for the last 7 days	Backup Records list

Quick Actions

The Quick Actions panel provides:

Backup Now — Select a profile from the dropdown and click to start an immediate backup. A progress modal shows real-time step completion.
Navigation links — Direct access to Backup Records, Backup Profiles, Scheduled Tasks, and Update Sites.
