Buxfer – Automatic Data Backup
February 15th, 2011
A month ago, Buxfer.com went down & took down a month’s worth of data along with it. Thankfully I had a CSV export of my data before the website went down.
After that, I wrote a simple utility script that will automatically do a full CSV export of Buxfer accounts data and email it. At the start of the script, there are couple of PHP variables that you can use to customize it – your buxfer id and password, from email address, to email address, email content etc. To automate it completely, use crontab to schedule its execution and rest in peace 🙂 .
I have hosted the code at GitHub. Do check it out and let me know your feedback. Or better yet, fork it and add your bells and whistles.
