Data Backup - extra for Revo is out

I wrote a simple backup solution for revo called Data Backup: http://modx.com/extras/package/databackup. You can easily backup your MySQL database and if you review the code probably MSSQL too.

Wow,

Haven’t tried it yet...but the name has me excited.

Sounds like one of those "More beach time" extras that i’m always searching for.

Will try it out soon

Sweet!

Nice extra.


possible bug found: I had to change "core/components/databackup/model/mysql/dbbackup.class.php" to "core/components/databackup/model/mysql/DBBackup.class.php" to make it work for me.

Cheers,
no

It’s a convention that all file and directory names in MODX be in all lowercase because developers on some platforms may not notice problems like this when creating add-ons, which will then break when installed on platforms where file and directory names are case-sensitive.

Thanks for reporting, I fixed the issue in 1.0.1pl.

You may want to set up a central place for bug reports & feature requests (Github perhaps?) and link to it from the package page - I had tried to report that bug to you via your site but that didn’t seem to go through..

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to do this is a few weeks as I don’t have time at the moment.

I have put the extra on github: https://github.com/jgulledge19/DataBackup.
