Support/Comments for BkupMODx

I was getting the

The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

message when I’d run out of memory/time on a particular server.
When I used a different server the zips were okay.

If you get to the "Backup process complete. . ." message then the zip should be okay.

I am getting the backup is complete message... zips are still corrupt. The site is only about 60mb in total.

You have an IM...

Works great! Thanks!

v1.8 just released!

This is mostly a cosmetic release so there are not any significant functional changes. I renamed a few of the core files along with deleting those no longer used, deleted unused template images, deleted unused CSS. For those of you using this as a MODx module you should recopy the code in the BKUPMODX.MODULE.php file into your module.

* Updated menu navigation with active links

* Update Exit menu links

* Refactored code to reduce file count

Upgrade and new installation instructions in README.txt.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the module. I’ve got it all squared away except that I’m having the same problem where my SQL dump isn’t included in the zip. Everything seems to run fine otherwise. Here’s the verbose output:

Is the backup and backup/tmp directories included in your zip file? If they are then look in the backup/tmp directory for you SQL dump file(s).

I added the backup directory and found the dump, thanks Chuck. On another note, do you have any suggestions on automating the backup, possibly using a cron job? Thanks again.

IIf you’re using v1.8, you can call the creation routines directly:
