Command line database only backup

discourse backup creates a backup with uploads, regardless of the site setting that controls that. Is there a way to do a database only backup from the command line? It would be handy to be able do this for a number of reasons.

Thanks! I read enough here that I think I know and remember everything that’s been posted and sometimes forget to search. :man_shrugging:

I marked your post as the solution, but here’s the one-liner:

/var/discourse/launcher run app "echo 'BackupRestore::Backuper.new(Discourse.system_user.id, with_uploads: false).run' | rails c"
