http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ WordPress Designpraxis Forum Forum: BackUpWordPress Issues en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:02:43 +0000 http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/running-backups-with-linux-cron#post-467 Sat, 08 Mar 2008 19:07:39 +0000 adirex 467@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Thanks for your answer. I am quite satisfied with your backup solution. The problem is that I get multiple backups (more than one for the same day) even when I have set one daily SQL backup. I guess that this happens because mutiple users trigger wp-cron at the same time. The backup process takes quite some time, because the backup itself is about 30 MB. Is there any way to resolve this? </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/md5-checksum#post-466 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:34:32 +0000 rol 466@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Thanks for the hint.

You can leave your backup archives within you backup repository. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/size-of-backup#post-464 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:28:16 +0000 rol 464@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Maybe you ran into the PEAR bug: <a href="http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/i-have-duplicated-files-in-the-backup-12-each?replies=8#post-419" rel="nofollow">http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/i-have-duplicated-files-in-the-backup-12-each?replies=8#post-419</a> </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/running-backups-with-linux-cron#post-463 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:25:24 +0000 rol 463@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>adirex, If you are able to utilize linux cron, you'll probably able to set a up much more versatile solution than BackUpWordPress. I myself use rdiff-backup which is based on rsynch. This way I can run backups incremental. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/zeitplan#post-462 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:21:10 +0000 rol 462@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>ja, an und für sich sollte WordPress sich num die Zeipläne kümmern. Allerdings ist wp-cron ein pseudo-cron. Das heisst, solange keine requests an die Webseite passieren, werden auch keine Zeitpläne getriggert. In einer localen Test-Umgebung wird also zumindest solange nichts passieren, als man die Seite ein paar mal aufgerufen hat. Online kann das bei Webseiten, die kaum traffic aufweisen auch passiern. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/error-while-restoring#post-461 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:16:33 +0000 rol 461@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>The database user you are connecting with is not allowed to execute DROP TABLE statements.

I haven't tried to duplicate WordPress installs and think it is better to set every instance up from scratch. Your problem might be to have multiple entries in wp-cron. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/internal-server-error-on-completion-of-the-backup#post-459 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:05:20 +0000 rol 459@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Kev, an internal server error might be a result of your webserver handling .htacces files not properly. Please try in an offline environment before using the plugin within a production environment. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-contains-duplicate-files#post-458 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:02:52 +0000 rol 458@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>jono, as bentimberlinedealershipscom pointed out here: <a href="http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/i-have-duplicated-files-in-the-backup-12-each?replies=8#post-419" rel="nofollow">http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/i-have-duplicated-files-in-the-backup-12-each?replies=8#post-419</a> there is a bug in the PEAR package FILE ARCHIVE.

Best thing is to try it offline, know your setup and recreate the same setup for a production system. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/i-have-duplicated-files-in-the-backup-12-each#post-451 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:43:24 +0000 rol 451@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>hi guys, sorry for being so late to join this debate, but I have been quite busy these days...

I have not experienced such an issue yet, but there are several thing that might be in your way. Is your webserver using a chaching technology? Are you going via a proxy? Does it seem that your backup Request gets triggered multiple times simultanuously? </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/cant-configure-excluded-files#post-447 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:25:41 +0000 rol 447@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>johnywhy, sorry for the late replay.

But is there any reason add_action('init'... is called outside of the wp-admin pages? I don't see any reason for things like bkpwp_security_check() to be called every time a non-admin page is loaded. This means that bkpwp_security_check() is writing the backup/.htaccess file every page load, which is a bit excessive.</p> <p>From what I can see (and tested personally), a quick check before calling the add_action('init', like the below (not compatible with IIS), is much more reasonable.<br /> <code><br /> if(strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/wp-admin/') !== false) {<br /> </code></p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Stonacek </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/cant-configure-excluded-files#post-436 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:18:03 +0000 johnywhy 436@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>got "Cannot load bkpwp-backup-options." when i clicked "presets"&gt;"full weekly backup - action"&gt;"edit"&gt;"configure exclude list" </p> <p>this is a new installation on a clean install of latest wordpress 2.3.3</p> <p>last few lines of .txt log:</p> <p>## February 14, 2008 10:55:33: successfully written to SQLfile: /homepages/36/d176208770/htdocs/laptopacademy/wordpress/wp-content/backup/2008-02-14-10-55-32/wordpress.sql<br /> ## February 14, 2008 10:55:33: successfully written to SQLfile: /homepages/36/d176208770/htdocs/laptopacademy/wordpress/wp-content/backup/2008-02-14-10-55-32/wordpress.sql</p> <p>-------------------</p> <p>last few lines of 2008-02-14-10-55-32-full.tar.gz.txt</p> <p>## February 14, 2008 10:55:44: No old BackUpWordPress Log Files to delete<br /> ## February 14, 2008 10:55:44: BackUpWordPress done at February 14, 2008 10:55:44<br /> ## February 14, 2008 10:55:44: BackUpWordPress was running for -0.41 Seconds</p> <p>-------------------</p> <p>output of phpinfo:</p> <p>PHP information for <a href="http://laptopacademy.net/wordpress" rel="nofollow">http://laptopacademy.net/wordpress</a></p> <p>max_execution_time: 50000<br /> max_input_time: -1<br /> file_uploads: 1<br /> upload_max_filesize: 20M<br /> post_max_size: 8M<br /> register_globals: 1<br /> safe_mode: 0<br /> allow_url_fopen: 1<br /> eaccelerator.enable: </p> <p>Other information:</p> <p>PHP Server API: cgi<br /> WordPress Version: 2.3.3<br /> WordPress Blog URI: <a href="http://laptopacademy.net/wordpress" rel="nofollow">http://laptopacademy.net/wordpress</a><br /> WordPress Installation URI: <a href="http://laptopacademy.net/wordpress" rel="nofollow">http://laptopacademy.net/wordpress</a><br /> WordPress Theme: /wp-content/themes/laptop-web-2-0<br /> WordPress Permalink Structure: /%postname%%post_id%<br /> WordPress wp-content directory is writable<br /> WordPress does not use Gzip Compression<br /> WP-Cache is running on this installation of WordPress<br /> GD library is installed<br /> PHP Version: 4.4.7<br /> MySQL Version: 5.0.51-log<br /> Browser used: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12</p> <p>-------------------<br /> my web-browser is latest stable firefox running on windows vista</p> <p>------------------- </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-432 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 23:52:52 +0000 johny 432@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi rol, great plugin. As xnd a full backup only creates 3 wordpress.sql files and does not create a directory called wordpress_files with wordpress files. This happens in a Linux Fedora environment but not in Windows. In windows all is OK. I use WP 2.3.1 with BackUpWordPress 0.4.5. memory_limit = 20M </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/i-have-duplicated-files-in-the-backup-12-each#post-431 Sun, 03 Feb 2008 17:06:57 +0000 madbadcat 431@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>i am actually having the very same issues- while my whole site including all images is less than 50mg- my backups come out to 140mgs! after inspecting them i am getting doubles and triplicates of everyhting.<br /> i have tried deleting the plugin, deleting its respective mysql tables and reinstalling. that doesn't fix it.<br /> i can say though that the problems started after i moved to the new server.<br /> i will look into the difference between the old and new. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/it-is-running-automatically-even-though-schedules-disabled#post-430 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 14:56:01 +0000 rpesq 430@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Backupwordpress is running automatically (weekly), even though schedules are disabled.</p> <p>It is doing a full weekly backup, and again, all scheduled backups are DISABLED.</p> <p>Please advise... </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backupwordpress-stuck-am-i-doomed#post-429 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 11:31:43 +0000 DT 429@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi Rol - </p> <p>Seems like I've got the same issue as well. I'll be the first to admit, I'm no code guru, but the problems described above sound similar to ones that I'm having now. I'm able to make a sql backup, but a full backup seems to just hang for ever. I've also tried uninstalling, deactivating all plugins, re-upping and running it again, but no luck.</p> <p>I'm running the most recent version of backupwordpress, and wp 2.3.2.</p> <p>I know I've got a few big files in my wordpress uploads folder, and I'm assuming it's a timeout error?</p> <p>I've got both of the 'automatically backup' boxes ticked. Should I simply untick the full backup, and just manually download it via FTP once a week?</p> <p>Thanks in Advance </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/failed-to-change-backup-archive-permissions#post-428 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:52:44 +0000 redragon 428@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Why do I see this in the log?</p> <p>"Failed to change backup archive permissions..." </p>
