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/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-297 Mon, 22 Oct 2007 15:34:50 +0000 rol 297@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>rpesq,<br /> the .htaccess file prevnts direct access to backup archives within the backup repository via the web browser. Only logged in Administratores can access those files.<br /> Before this improvement and in case someone knows the URI of such a file, e.g. someone would sniff out the emails, BackUpWordPress sent to you, the backup archives would have been able to download for unauthorised users. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-281 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 01:07:56 +0000 rpesq 281@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi Roland,<br /> That is excellent.</p> <p>Can you quickly elaborate what .htaccess protects/limits? </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/anywone-experiences-with-successful-restores-via-backupwordpress#post-279 Sat, 13 Oct 2007 17:30:20 +0000 rol 279@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>rpesq, thanks a lot for your feedback!<br /> Actually, Alex Concha, one of the WordPress developers wites about that security issue on <a href="http://alex.buayacorp.com">his blog</a>. 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/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.

I want to publish a stable release of BackUpWordPress, but need some feedback on that part. Also some experiences would be appreciated on successful/unsuccessful migrations of a WordPress website to another machine using a backup archive generated by BackUpWordPress. </p>
