With PHP8 on XF2? There isn't one. Please change your Overview description so others running XF 2.2x and PHP 8 know there is an issue. It's a bummer to buy an addon that says it's compatible but is not using the current PHP requirement for the XF versions listed (XF 2.2 can use PHP 8.2.21) It's only $10 so it's OK until I upgrade to XF 2.3, which may be a while due to issues with 2.3.

The current listed requirements:
php22aa.webp

And current XF 2.2x PHP report:
php22.webp


And I don't quite understand the question you are asking in that post. My bad, I did not notice you were looking at the log file.

Thanks for the prompt help.

No problem and that is expected (many addons have two versions now), what version should I go back to until I go to XF 2.3 and can you elaborate on THIS POST / QUESTION?

I am sitting basically in the same boat. Just about to buy the addon after clarifying with my hoster that the necessary are available on my shared hosting and now found this disturbing news.

I am running 2.2.16P2 on PHP 8.1.28 and MySQL/MariaDB 10.2.36 and will (have to) stay with that for quite a while.

If I get the discussion of the last pages correctly there is no working version of this addon for 2.2 right now due to the "streams"-file (which has changed in XF 2.3)? And you plan no fix but instead supporting 2.3 only?

This is bad news for the many people that do not plan to migrate yet right now or cannot migrate due to unsupported plugins. I assume there will be a huge amount of people stuck on 2.2 for quite some time so it would be good to have this working. The minimum would be to make an possible exclusive focus on 2.3 clear in the description. Currently neither the description of the addon nor the update notices reflect that and in opposite one would think that 2.0. - 2.3 are all supported, just the latest version 2.1.1.0 requires PHP 8.1+. Which technically would be a fit for me - just that it seems despite the description it is not.

As this plugin has already existed for quite a while: Was the incompatibility introduced with XF 2.2.16P2 and other (older) versions work flawlessly?

Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this, as every vendor has updated their PHP 8+ libraries with the new "streams" file.
If you don't use any other addons which require vendor psr packages, then you shouldn't have any issues just editing the file I mentioned in #357.

I have updated the requirements:
XF2-8WR-Database-Backup-XenForo-community.webp
 
Jaxel updated XF2 [8WR] Database Backup with a new update entry:

2.3.0.1 - CHANGELOG

This release is identical to 2.1.1.0, except it explicitly defines the requirement XF2.3.
2.1.1.0 has been removed to avoid confusion with compatibility as it does not work with XF2.2.
  • BUG FIX: The Amazon AWS SDK has been updated to remove the abandoned Tightenco library.
This version and all future versions now requires PHP 8.1+ to function. The recommended PHP version for XF is now PHP 8.3, so this requirement is keeping in line with maintenance.

Thanks. I think I'll give it a try on a test-system but am not optimistic. Is there an easy way to find out if/which addons require "vendor psr packages"?

A maybe stupid question: PHP8 has been on the market for quite a while and also been the recommended Version by XF for a long time. While a bunch of installations still are on PHP7 I'd assume that most are using PHP8 today. XF 2.3 (which avoids/soves the problem) has become available just recently. Does this mean that for quite some time the addon has been not working for many installations? If so: How come that the issue has popped up only now and not earlier?
Or is there an older version of the addon that may work with the combination XF 2.2/PHP8? A downgrade to PHP7 is definitively not an option for me and upgrading to XF 2.3 is none for the time being either.
 
I'm testing the app out. so I manually ran the cron job. The only thing it created is a folder with a metadata.txt but no individual data tables sql. am I missing something ?
 
@Jaxel sorry for verbose ask here, but for 2.2, is the requirement to be using PHP7 and greater or must it be explicitly 7.X? I'm running PHP8.2 on XF 2.2 and would like to use the add-on but can't upgrade to 2.3 yet and don't want to downgrade to PHP7.

Your in my same situation. XF 2.2 with PHP 8.2x will not work. 8.3x is ok.

Edited PHP version for clarification.

I can't confirm this. I'm using 2.1.0.8 on XF 2.2.16 with PHP 8.3.9 and the database backup works without any problems.

It's a crazy weird problem. Does not affect you on 8.3 but 8.2x.

Not that weird from my understanding. Possibly @twollert is lucky and does not have any other addon installed that falls into this category:

If he does not have any of those kind of addons installed there should be no problems. This may however change with installation of any additional addon.
 
When the payment comes back from checking the card and account, when finished, it returns to your website, finalizes the payment, this error occurs.
This error happens with both Paypal/Stripe payments.
mine is normal, normal card.

@Jaxel The addon looks very promising. I just have couple questions for you.


1. I know it supports up to 2.3, but recently I upgraded to 2.3.2. Will the addon support this version?

2. Is there any renewal fee every year?

3. Do you have any plans to add Google Drive or OneDrive?

4. I know the name says Database Backup, but I think your addon also takes a full backup, including files. Will you please confirm this?


Thank you.
