XF2 [8WR] Database Backup 2.1.0.8

• Added the ability to send remote backups directly to Amazon S3.
• All files are now backed up using the remote options... however, certain log files may appear incomplete in your backup, since they may be written to again, during and after the remote upload process.

• Added an option to automatically delete older backups based on a numerical retention limit.
• Added the ability to do automatic remote uploads via FTP to another server after backup. This process happens AFTER the forums have been re-opened, so it should not add any extra download to your website. Only backup files themselves are uploaded; not any log files. These remote uploads are not subject to the new retention limit option.

• You can now back up your XenForo file structure, in addition to the database!
  • The default custom dump options for the file structure is set up to exclude the /internal_data/backups directory, so that you don't backup your backups.
  • This process uses tar and I have only tested it on my own Linux server. I don't know what will happen on Windows servers.
• Database backups will now automatically handle it if your database is on a different server (not localhost).
• Backup metadata will now show you if the backup process timed out.
• Metadata and logs from backups on the previous version will no longer be viewable in the admin CP.
