You can leave your backup archives within you backup repository. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-450 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:37:08 +0000 rol 450@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>oxuello, johny, I am sorry for a) being so late with my reply and b) not haveing a solution for you. 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/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-443 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:11:00 +0000 rol 443@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>hi guys, just like cj pointed out, ther are some issues due to database encoding. 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/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-434 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 23:33:53 +0000 besonen 434@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>hi Roland,</p> <p>is there a development release available that contains any bug fixes since the 0.4.5beta release?</p> <p>also, have you been able to identify the source of the truncation (of posts) after restoration problem that Nick reported?</p> <p> - david </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/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/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-407 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 18:19:18 +0000 oxullo 407@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>xnd: I noticed this problem too.<br /> Indeed, even if the estimated filesize of the backup is about 7MB, I get a backup of 56MB.<br /> I peeked into the tar.gz and noticed that some files are repeated with no apparent reason.<br /> For example:</p> <p><code><br /> <pre><code></code></pre> </code></p> <p>'readme.html' is packed twice. Some files thrice.</p> <p>Any clues?</p> <p>Dear rol, thanks for your precious work and support.</p> <p>Wordpress 2.3.2, BackUpWordPress 0.4.5 </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-399 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:14:25 +0000 hbash 399@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Can the generated backup archive be used to move the blog to another server? </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-388 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:53:37 +0000 rol 388@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>the backup archive should contain one directory called wordpress_files which contains all your WordPress installation files as well as one file called wordpress.sql containing a database dump of your blog's MySQL database. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/getting-errors-when-activating-plugin#post-385 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:34:37 +0000 rol 385@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>What version of WordPress are you running?

I <a href="http://alex.buayacorp.com/insecure-way-to-upgrade-to-wordpress-23.html#comment-46">responded as quickly as I could</a> (while he was sleeping ;)) and released a security update of BackUpWordPress. I think you are on the safe side with BackUpWordPress. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-270 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 17:30:52 +0000 rpesq 270@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi,<br /> Great plugin! Once the entire "Full" backup can be restored with one-click, it will be truly awesome.</p> <p>You asked about successful restores. </p> <p>I tried a "Full" restore, and the database is restored successfully. The uploads (photos, etc) are not, but it seems as though you have not implemented that feature yet.</p> <p>A one-click full restore (database + uploads) will be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>BTW -- is it "safe" to leave the backups on the server? I ask because a different WP backup plugin recommends that the backups be downloaded and deleted. Is that a big issue?</p> <p>thanks,<br /> bob </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-259 Sat, 29 Sep 2007 05:53:56 +0000 rol 259@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Gerhard, thanks for the bug report!

And yes, within the full backup is the wordpress.sql-file which seems to be the dump of the database. And both wordpress.sql-files, the one of the SQL-DBs-Backup and the one of the full backup seem to be identical. That is to say that the full backup seems to work fine but not the restore of the SQL-DB out of the full backup, initiated out of the "Manage Backups" (Backups verwalten) screen by clicking "restore" (wiederherstellen).</p> <p>Can not be a big deal, can be?</p> <p>Cheers - gl </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-192 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 05:01:34 +0000 rol 192@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Gerhard, your bigdump message says<br /> Queries 0 0 0 0<br /> which means there was nothing to execute. Therefore nothing has changed on your blog. Did you download your backup created by BackUpWordPress, unpack and open the sql dump with a text editor to see if there is something in it? </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-174 Thu, 20 Sep 2007 10:02:32 +0000 GLehnhoff 174@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Well, this might be important:</p> <p>BigDump: Staggered MySQL Dump Importer vversion</p> <p>Processing file: bkpwp_restore.sql</p> <p>Starting from line: 1<br /> Session Done To go Total<br /> Lines 4 4 0 4<br /> Queries 0 0 0 0<br /> Bytes 689 689 0 689<br /> KB 0.67 0.67 0 0.67<br /> MB 0 0 0 0<br /> % 100 100 0 100<br /> % bar </p> <p>Congratulations: End of file reached, assuming OK </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-173 Thu, 20 Sep 2007 09:56:14 +0000 GLehnhoff 173@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>I just have done a backup, change one text in a post, deleted one post and have done a restore.</p> <p>Outcome: nothing has been restored.
