Try switching the different MySQL output format options.

I switched from Single file to Multiple files last night but no change. Backup doesn't complete on schedule, presumably leaving forum closed.

Looked in the backup location this morning but no corresponding folder created for last nights backup yet. Then, I loaded the forum index page (not even the AdminCP) and that action seemed to be enough to un-stick the backup job. Backup folder then appeared, and backup ran to completion without issue. Clearly the VPS is remaining active, but is the Backup process somehow sleeping? Or perhaps or the XF cron scheduler is snoozing because the forum isn't active? (This is a Test forum with no other user activity)

I am not Jaxel, but you have to understand how XF works.

An XF job cron is only run, if there is a visitor to trigger it. Say, you set the backup to 3 AM. Only if someone is online at that minute, the backup will run at that time. Not before. This is how XF works. So, if the next visitor comes at 4:45 AM, the backup runs at that time.

So, you gave the answer to yourself already. You set it on a test forum where nobody has access to it. So, when will it run? The next time someone comes online, which is you. And as you witnessed, then the backup ran.

I am using this addon since it came out. Had no issues luckily so far. It works perfectly for my case. I run daily backups at night and I used those backups hundreds of times already on my localhost setup.

Thanks sbj for the explanation (and the reassurance)- that's something I wasn't aware of. It's possible that the production site can go several hours overnight without a "real" visitor, but hopefully page load by a bot will be frequent enough to trigger.

(Posting for anyone else who comes across this issue: I went digging and found this thread which explains further.) Unfortunate that the XF cron doesn't have a different name or use the system crontab.

PM me your details. Don't talk about purchases publicly.

Local back ups work fine. Integrated it with Backblaze and added the info and get this -

Any ideas?

@Jaxel Any ideas? Sorry to be a bother. Just want to get this working..

BackBlaze changed their terminology. Your account ID is whats listed on "keyID" on your app-keys page.

 

[btmgreg]

Many thanks! It was the terminology that got me.

Jaxel updated XF2 [8WR] Database Backup with a new update entry:

2.1.0.4 - CHANGELOG

• Fixed a bug that would prevent you from making database backups if your database password had specific oddball characters in it.

Read the rest of this update entry...

So I just got around to upgrading to 2.1.0.4 and while the backups exist locally, it's not sending them to Dropbox. The only files that are moving to Dropbox are:

_metadata.txt
_mysqllog.txt

Any ideas?

I had this running and it’s closing my forum and then not opening it back up. Getting an exec error.

The post that’s referenced at the end has nothing odd in it.

I’ve turned off the plugin, because it was leaving my forum turned off. I’d like to do backups, that’s why I bought this, but no idea why this is happening. Any ideas? I see some others had the issue of their forum not turning back on after the backup ran.

Getting an exec error.

Before you buy this addon however, you must be aware of a few requirements. This addon uses PHP's exec command to run MySQL's mysqldump command. If you're running off a shared hosting service, you may not have access to these powerful tools and be unable to use this addon.

I’m on a VPS and have server control.

Then you should enable the exec command for your server.

@Jaxel backblaze says file is too big when uploading file backup(about 12gb), can be fixed?

In the MySQL options, you can check the Multiple files named after each table option.

The problem is file backup, mysql is about 1gb and uploads fine.
