Backup Interface not working

DortoH · Post by **DortoH** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 4:09 pm

I have had the backup interface installed and working on two of my S9Y blogs for a while now, and recently, it stopped working for one of them.

Both backups are written into a sub-folder of the Backup folder. It was working fine this way and I just noticed today it stopped a while ago. I tried removing and reinstalling the plugin, but no luck.

Any ideas where to begin?

How are you executing the backup? Via Cron?

Has anything on the server changed? Permissions, PHP/Apache version?

Does the backup from the interface (not auto-scheduled) still work?

I am only backing up the DB from the Backup Interface using the automatic backup feature. That has stopped working on the one blog. One thing I noticed was over 3000 SQL files in the backups/blog1/tmp/last_backup directory. I am downloading them now as a backup, and will then delete them and see what happens.

OK when I run the backup via the interface, a load of files get placed into the
/backups/blog1/tmp/last_backup directory. From there they aren't being zipped and moved into /backups/blog1 Even if I uncheck the gzipped option in the backup interface it still just drops the SQL files into the last_backup directory.

Nothing has changed, and it still works on blog2, on the same server, seperate MySQL DB. I just find it odd that it works for one, but not the other.

Hm, my guess is then that some .sh script is not really working. Maybe you could echo all the passthru() commands in the backup plugin?

You might want to mail the author of the plugin, maybe he knows some extra debugging to do?

As this is a rather old thread and I'm today experiencing the same problem here, I wonder, if this has ever been resolved ???

Any suggestions welcome.

You are not alone, I have this problem too. When I installed backup plugin, I tried it out. But now I get exactly the problem described earlier in this thread. HTML backups work fine, but for database backups the files are left into last_backup and the plugin also does not confirm that it did the backup

I thought of disabling and reactivating automated backups and they got deactivated. However reactivating them did not work.

Would this have something to do with max_execution_time on php? Perhaps I should see if upping it to 60 helps.
