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/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/failed-to-change-backup-archive-permissions#post-453 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:49:43 +0000 rol 453@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>redragon, the plugin is not able to chenge file permissions on created files or folders.

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/blog-down-after-performing-backup-help#post-445 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:17:56 +0000 rol 445@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>pjspjs, Your webserver must be properly configured to word with .htaccess files.

I'll dig into that deeper as soon as I have some time again. Pleaselet me know, if one of you successfully tweaked the plugin to solve that issue. Thanks, for reporting! </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-441 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 23:08:38 +0000 cj 441@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi<br /> I just had to do a restore. The automatic restore didn't work, all posts were truncated at the first special character (öäü, etc). I then imported the backup file (after including the USE 'db' line) manually in phpmyadmin, setting the coding to latin1. This worked like a charm (and saved my @ss).<br /> thx for the wonderful plugin! </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/blog-down-after-performing-backup-help#post-440 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:45:53 +0000 pjspjs 440@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>I just found out that .htaccess will recreate itself and shut down my blog.

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/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> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-420 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:33:05 +0000 Nick 420@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi Guys,</p> <p>Just thought I'd add my two cents from my experience today.</p> <p>I had to do a full wordpress restore due to moving it to a new server.</p> <p>Had a full backup saved safely. After copying into the backup directory it appeared under the managed backups but under action had "Your Backup is being processed."</p> <p>As it never appeared to finish processing, I dug a big deeper. It would seem that in the sub directory logs, each backup file must have an associated txt file to go with. So I created a backup, then copied this log file and renamed it appropriately.</p> <p>I then did a restore. It appeared to restore everything, only slight problem was that the posts appeared to be truncated in my case, annoying but better than nothing.</p> <p>HTH</p> <p>Nick </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/sql-errors#post-410 Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:58:16 +0000 wmburke 410@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hello all,</p> <p>First I would like to offer my appreciation for such a fine WordPress plugin.</p> <p>That said, I'm having a small problem, and believe it to be related to my shared hosting plan on GoDaddy. They are uniquely unhelpful, but the choice of host is not mine and so I am locked into it with this client. When I run the backup, it seems to work fine, except that it gives me the following set of errors upon completion:</p> <p><code>Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/content/p/o/m/pomed/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/bkpwp-classes/manage_backups.php on line 246</p> <p>Warning: mysql_free_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/content/p/o/m/pomed/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/bkpwp-classes/manage_backups.php on line 299<br /> </code></p> <p>It repeats these a total of 10 times. I assumed that this meant that the SQL backup was not able to work - however when I downloaded the file to check it, I discovered that in fact the first x (I didn't count) tables were backed up fine, and only the last ones were not.</p> <p>Please help me to understand why this may be and what I should do about it.</p> <p>Thank you,<br /> Wayne </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/probleme-bei-der-backupkonfiguration#post-409 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:56:03 +0000 fuggi 409@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hallo,</p> <p>das Problem mit der Ausschlusslistenerstellung habe ich in Opera auch - in Firefox funktioniert es.

I don't like the fact that users have to wait when the backup is processed and they can not see the website until the backup process is finished. </p> <p>The idea is to create a passkey for the backup process and whenever somebody accesses "www.myblog.com/?process_backup=backup_name" the backup would be run and it wouldn't affect anybody browsing the website. This way I could put this to the Linux cron with "curl" function and schedule backups any at time and with any frequency I want. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backupwordpress-security-release#post-389 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:59:15 +0000 rol 389@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>gerhard, sorry for being so late with that reply.
