Did anyone figure out a workaround for the issue with the board not reactivating after a scheduled backup?

It appears that this addon will no longer work with Dropbox. The reason is that Dropbox has eliminated long-lived access tokens, and instead has implemented refresh tokens. This addon needs to be updated to reflect the change, but it seems that @Jaxel has stopped updating it.

It doesn't appear to be. My test site had this addon installed prior to Dropbox changing its policy, and it still works fine. That's because Dropbox is (for now) continuing to allow for already-created long-lived access tokens. However, it won't permit the creation of any new long-lived tokens.
So, when I went to install this addon on my production site, it worked for a few days and then began receiving 401 errors with the message that the token had expired. The addon ceased working with Dropbox at that point, which leads me to believe that it does not support "offline" tokens.
Perhaps @Jaxel can clarify this?

I just tested this, and I can't reproduce any issues...
I did notice that you must generate a new access token AFTER you apply your permissions; as permissions will not be applied to old tokens after they are changed. So give your app the

I'm hesitant to do anything with Google APIs at this point. Google has become so big that it's full on Silicon Valley ideological, even in it's programming. Having done so much with the YouTube APIs in the past and having things constantly break and features disappear out of nowhere with no replacement, makes me not want to touch any of it. Their API is not designed for developers; it's designed for bureaucrats.

Thanks, I understand.
Their API for gdrive should be pretty much stable at this point. Just need to be able to upload stuff with permission. But I understand of course.
One other thing could be if the hassle is too much because they change their API all the time, you could drop the support for gdrive. If you decide to do it and if you have the time of course, just mention it with the release and we all are prepared for it.
Also mega.nz with 20 gb free space could also be a good one.
Most of us don't have big databases which means 15-20 gb can store a lot of databases.
I just use it for "just in case". Having free options to have a 3rd or 4th backup is always nice.
Thanks.

Okay, my old token continues to work, so I wasn't sure.

The add-on creates a cron entry which you can run manually.

I’d imagine you have some things to tweak on your server then - I backup a forum with 12,000 attachments and just under a million posts in around 2 minutes.

I'm not able to tell by the screens and info, but is it possible to customize the exec command?
What I'm looking for is an option to create a backup from MySQL database running in a container, the backup command would be something like this:
My guess is that it will try to just execute the mysqldump command which is not found since is not installed in the host.
