Thank you for the plugin. Using version 0.6.1. Everything works fine but download of backups does’nt work with Firefox 7.01 under Mac Snow Leopard. Safari works pretty good, also IE under Win 7.

Any idea where the problem is?

Thanks

I’ve had the same warning as seen in Jacob 15th July 2011 comments after my website host ukhost4U upgraded to PHP 5.3.8. Is there a solution to this, as the error is not allowing me to log into wordpress to disable/uninstall. Good plugin and want to continue to use it provided there is a resolution to the error

Hi,

I’ve got a working patch that applies encryption to the backup. This is useful if you’re uploading to some shared storage.

Can you contact me via e-mail if you’re interested? I’m potentially interested in taking on maintainership of the plugin as there are other features I’d like to add. Also running with WP_DEBUG on gives a load of warnings which I’d like to clear up.

Presently the encryption is database-only.

Thanks for the plugin,
David

The zip error was due to my permissions.

Unix Fix

I changed the entire wp-content directory permissions and sub-directories. 775

I also had to change ownership back to user because the server switched it to www user which doesn’t allow write permissions.

Where can I delete all of the backups in my container? They are using up all the disk space. It isn’t in /updraft because they were too small.

I’ve unfortunately had to deactivate the plugin until I can find where they are being stored on my server.

I’ve installed Updraft on my WP set-up, but it seems to be only backing up the themes and plugins portions. It appears to be failing somehow on the uploads part:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [error] => Could not create uploads zip. Error was [severity] => fatal ) [1] => Array ( [error] => S3 Error: Failed to upload /home/rjray/dereferenced.com/wp-content/updraft/backup_2011-07-04-0511_Dereferencedcom_8449634c61e9-uploads.zip. Error was [severity] => ) [2] => Array ( [error] => S3 Error: Failed to upload /home/rjray/dereferenced.com/wp-content/updraft/. Error was [severity] => ) )

(I don’t actually have anything in uploads, I don’t think… could this be the problem?)

This seems to be preventing it from backing up the database at all. I looked at your Github page to see if this was one of your repos, so I could see if I saw anything in there based on the error messages, but you don’t have this on Github…

So I install this on the wp I need to backup make a backup to a root folder on the host

Then do a second install of wordpress on a subdomain install updraft point the backup directory in updraft to the same directory that has the backup previously made but it does not pick it up.

Could you please add blog title to confirmation e-mail that is sent upon successful backup?
