What’s that "delete"??

Let me recap. Your sql dumps are being created successfully. The file list is being created successfully. The zip file is being created successfully. The last step is to delete the sql files on the server. That is how the script is designed to work.

What is in the zip file AFTER you download it? Is there a /backup/archive directory IN THE ZIP FILE? Is there a sql file in /backup/archive directory IN THE ZIP FILE. If not then that can only mean you not included the /backup directory in your config.inc.php file. Please check your requested directories in the config.inc.php file or use the Config Tool to check. Make sure the /backup directory is included in one of your your directories paths with "true" for the recursive value.

[assets]
[backup]
index-ajax.php
index.php
[manager]

Now here’s my config-file:

If this correct for your site?

/home/xxx/public_html/flickr/assets
/home/xxx/public_html/flickr/backup
/home/xxx/public_html/flickr/index-ajax.php
/home/xxx/public_html/flickr/index.php

Well the best I can recommend at this point is to remove the MySQL dump delete. Look for the following section in the control_backup.class.php file (lines 115-134):

        // Delete MySQL dump files
        $view -> viewNav('backup', 'delete_sql_start', null);
        if($mdl -> mdl_config -> config['mysql'] == '3') ob_flush();
        flush();

        foreach(glob($mdl -> mdl_config -> config['base_path']
          . $mdl -> mdl_config -> config['archive_dir'] . '*.sql') as $file) {

            $mdl -> mdlNav('file', 'attr', $file);
            $file = $mdl -> mdl_file -> file_attr;
            $view -> viewNav('backup', 'delete_sql_file', $file);
            $mdl -> mdlNav('file', 'delete', $file);

        } // END foreach

        $view -> viewNav('backup', 'delete_sql_end', null);
        if($mdl -> mdl_config -> config['mysql'] == '3') ob_flush();
        flush();

    } // END if

comment out the section by adding "/*" at the start and "*/" at the end as follows:

        // Delete MySQL dump files
/*
        $view -> viewNav('backup', 'delete_sql_start', null);
        if($mdl -> mdl_config -> config['mysql'] == '3') ob_flush();
        flush();

        foreach(glob($mdl -> mdl_config -> config['base_path']
          . $mdl -> mdl_config -> config['archive_dir'] . '*.sql') as $file) {

            $mdl -> mdlNav('file', 'attr', $file);
            $file = $mdl -> mdl_file -> file_attr;
            $view -> viewNav('backup', 'delete_sql_file', $file);
            $mdl -> mdlNav('file', 'delete', $file);

        } // END foreach

        $view -> viewNav('backup', 'delete_sql_end', null);
        if($mdl -> mdl_config -> config['mysql'] == '3') ob_flush();
        flush();
*/
    } // END if

You should find the sql dump file(s) still on the server and can download the sql file(s) separately. Sorry, but I don’t understand what is preventing the scripts fro functioning as expected.

Chuck, I finally got around to playing with this. What a great tool!

Thanks for the contribution.

Just one question: It worked fine for me right out of the box pm XAMPP/Vista, but in the config file, I specified these:

site_url = http://localhost/bobsguides/
base_path = c:/xampp/htdocs/bobsguides/

In the .zip file, I find it has backed up the xampp and htdocs folders with the bobsguides folder inside htdocs. Is this normal? I would have thought it would just back up the final directory in the path. Having them all in there makes it a little trickier to restore.

What value(s) do you have for dir0 - dir9? Those determine the content to backup. Try this and see if it works:

dir0 = c:/xampp/htdocs/bobsguides/,true

This is the dir0 - dir9 help message listed in the Config Tool:

HELP:
These are the directories to include in your backup.
You should include the trailing slash '/' on the directories to backup.
Always use '/' (not '\') for Linux and Windows, it's a PHP thing!
true - to include all files and subdirectories.
false - to include only the files in the current directory an not include subdirectories.
EXAMPLE: /home/go4it2day/www/,true
