One-Click Database Backups

Because Saint CMS uses SQLite, your entire database is securely stored in a single file. This allows the engine to perform instantaneous, zero-downtime backups without requiring external database dumping tools.

The Snapshot Endpoint

You can trigger a full database backup programmatically. When this endpoint is hit, the Go engine creates a localized timestamped copy of your live database and stores it in the isolated /backups directory on your server.

POST /api/snapshot

(Note: This route is strictly locked and requires your sk_live_ key).

Example Request:

const res = await fetch('http://localhost:3333/api/snapshot', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer sk_live_your_api_key_here'
  }
});
const backup = await res.json();
