#### 1.4.4. Setup Backup
To set up backups in Namingo:
The default backup system in Namingo is based on `phpbu`, which is well-suited for **small to medium databases** and multi-purpose PHP-driven automation. It supports database backups, file system snapshots, remote uploads (e.g., SFTP), and more, using customizable JSON configuration files.
1. Rename `/opt/registry/automation/backup.json.dist` and `/opt/registry/automation/backup-upload.json.dist` to `backup.json` and `backup-upload.json`, respectively. Edit both files to include the correct database and other required details. If using SFTP and just username and password, make sure you check `backup_upload.php` for which values you need to set to `null` in `backup-upload.json`.
**Step-by-Step Setup:**
2. Enable the backup functionality in `cron.php` or `cron_config.php` and make sure you follow the instructions in section **1.4.8. Running the Automation System** to activate the automation system on your server.

##### 1.4.4.1. Using mariabackup for Large MariaDB Databases
For large or high-performance MariaDB deployments, you can replace the default `mysqldump`-based backup with `mariabackup`, which performs **physical (binary) backups** without downtime.
**Step-by-Step Setup:**
1. Install `mariabackup` (usually part of the MariaDB-server package or as `mariadb-backup`).
2. Modify `backup.json` to use a `preExec` shell command that runs:
```bash
mariabackup --backup --target-dir=/opt/registry/backups/mariadb --user=... --password=...
```
3. (Optional) Add a `postExec` command to compress the backup or prepare it for upload.
