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/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/restore-one-post#post-390 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 18:06:23 +0000 rol 390@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>The INSERT statement containing this blog posts's information should be exactly on line in yout backup wordpress.sql file.

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! No that shouldn't be a big deal, I'll fix ist with the next version! </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-242 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 17:39:54 +0000 GLehnhoff 242@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi rol,</p> <p>restore of SQL-DBs-Backups work, restores of full backups not. 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/newbie-woes#post-240 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:25:05 +0000 rsmith 240@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Just wanted to let you know - same old, same old.

On a new install you quite likly have no traffic at all, and what the WordPress (pseudo) cron functionality really needs are hits on your site. Otherways no action is triggered. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/newbie-woes#post-200 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:32:50 +0000 rsmith 200@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>I hear you. This is a new install that won't be in production so I can play with it and make certain it is working.</p> <p>I just can't figure out how to restore the file when there is no restore function and the message is Your Backup is being processed???</p> <p>Thanks </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/newbie-woes#post-189 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 04:52:15 +0000 rol 189@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>rsmith, beware of some important issues when migrating! The BackUpWordPress restore function assumes that you are on the same system. There are some precautions to take in advance when moving from an old site onto a new one. Try to create a working offline copy of youg blog (read <a href="http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/2007/09/21/how-to-setup-a-cross-platform-environment-for-wordpress-plugin-development/">this article </a>) before moving to another webserver. If you got to run it flawlessly as an offline version, you can be quite sure you'll manage to do so on a remote machine. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/newbie-woes#post-187 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 16:34:49 +0000 rsmith 187@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi Rol,</p> <p>I uploaded the backup from the other site to the new one but there is no way to restore that particular backup. I did another full backup on the new site and it has the ability to restore - ideas? Here is a screen clip of the info - note the "backup is being processed" notation on the backup in question.</p> <p>Thx</p> <p>Manage Backups<br /> Your backup is being processed.<br /> September 23, 2007 20:58 full - manually full backup 8.12 MB download view mail restore delete</p> <p>Select a Preset.

Restoring Backups is a topic that includes some precautions:<br /> - If you want to restore you blog on a NEW site, which would mean a different domain name or url path, you should be aware that any self-referencing url including permalinks will be that of you OLD site.<br /> - unless you do not find a very similar environment on your NEW site (php.ini settings, mod_rewrite for url rewriting, etc.) it is quite likely that you will run into troubles<br /> - You'll see a "restore"-link along with every listed backup archive on the Manage Backup screen of the BackUpWordPress plugin. So just upload you backup into the wp-content/backups/ folder, and you'll find it there. Try to restore it from there, but be careful and don't do it on a production environment.</p> <p>In general any Backup-Restore-procedure should be surrounded and prepared with extra-backups, offline-testing, etc. Once you are sure, that your backup-restore procedure works, you can run it on a production environment. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/newbie-woes#post-178 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 14:08:05 +0000 rsmith 178@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I just found your plugin a couple of weeks ago and backed up successfully. I would now like to restore that backup on a new site.
