⚡ Easy Way (Recommended)

Use the App Installer module to upload this app directly from your browser:

1. Install App Installer from Odoo Apps Store
2. Download this module as a ZIP file
3. Go to App Installer in your Odoo Menu
4. Upload the ZIP and click Install
5. Done! Start configuring your backups in Settings → Auto Full Backup

This is the last time you'll need manual server access to install a module!

🔧 Traditional Way

Standard Odoo module installation:

1. Extract module to your Odoo addons directory
2. Go to Apps → Update Apps List
3. Search for "Auto Full Backup"
4. Click Install/Activate

⚡ Option A: Auto Restore Script (Recommended)

The module includes scripts/restore_full_backup.sh which handles everything automatically.

# 1. Upload backup file to server
scp odoo_backup_production_20260316.zip ubuntu@your-server:/tmp/

# 2. Upload restore script to server
scp restore_full_backup.sh ubuntu@your-server:/tmp/

# 3. SSH into server and run
ssh ubuntu@your-server
chmod +x /tmp/restore_full_backup.sh

# Restore to original database name
sudo /tmp/restore_full_backup.sh /tmp/odoo_backup_production_20260316.zip

# Or restore to a different database name
sudo /tmp/restore_full_backup.sh /tmp/odoo_backup_production_20260316.zip production_new

The script reads manifest.json to automatically map addons to correct server paths, shows a restore plan, and asks for confirmation before proceeding.

🔧 Option B: Manual Restore (Step by Step)

mkdir -p /tmp/restore && cd /tmp/restore
unzip /tmp/odoo_backup_production_20260316.zip

# Stop Odoo service
sudo systemctl stop odoo19

# Drop old DB (if restoring to same name)
sudo -u postgres dropdb production

# Create new DB and restore
sudo -u postgres createdb -O odoo19 -T template0 -E UTF8 production
sudo -u odoo19 psql production < /tmp/restore/dump.sql

# Replace filestore (if exists in backup)
FILESTORE=/opt/odoo19/.local/share/Odoo/filestore/production
sudo mv $FILESTORE ${FILESTORE}.bak
sudo cp -r /tmp/restore/filestore $FILESTORE
sudo chown -R odoo19:odoo19 $FILESTORE

# View the mapping from manifest
python3 -c "
import json
m = json.load(open('/tmp/restore/manifest.json'))
for item in m.get('addons_mapping', []):
    print(f\"{item['backup_folder']}  ->  {item['original_path']}\")
"

# Copy each addons folder to its original path
# Example (your paths will differ):
sudo cp -r /tmp/restore/addons/addons/. /opt/odoo19/odoo/odoo/addons/
sudo cp -r /tmp/restore/addons/addons_3/. /home/ubuntu/odoo/addons/
sudo cp -r /tmp/restore/addons/social/. /home/ubuntu/odoo/addons/social/
sudo chown -R odoo19:odoo19 /opt/odoo19/ /home/ubuntu/odoo/

# Backup current config then restore
sudo cp /etc/odoo19/odoo.conf /etc/odoo19/odoo.conf.bak
sudo cp /tmp/restore/config/odoo.conf /etc/odoo19/odoo.conf

sudo systemctl start odoo19
sudo systemctl status odoo19

# Check log for errors
sudo tail -50 /var/log/odoo19/odoo.log | grep ERROR

• Odoo's built-in restore (/web/database/manager) only restores database + filestore. Custom addons and config must be restored separately.
• modules_not_backed_up in manifest.json lists Odoo core modules — these are already present in the Odoo installation and don't need restoring.
• Always test restore on a staging environment before restoring to production.
• The restore script creates backups of existing folders before overwriting (*.bak.*), so you can roll back.
