Hello Luca.

I just looked at the code for v2.13 I haven't worked with it for almost ½ year, so didn't remember much.

I've fixed some bugs, which might affect you, I recommend that you download the recent version (also the menu) from the previous mentioned address.

after installing you might need to do a quick fix in your db

Code: Select all

UPDATE <prefix>config SET value = 2.02 WHERE config = 'tms_backup_version';

change <prefix> accordingly to your installation i.e

Code: Select all

UPDATE sit_config SET value = 2.02 WHERE config = 'tms_backup_version';

then go to SiT -> Control Panel -> Configure -> Plugins -> tms_backup
and save your settings, looking in the DB in sit_config, tms_backup_version should now be 2.14

there should also now be a new row called "tms_backup_running" with value = 0

cheers

no problem

edit: for when you come back: in case that you already did a download, I found a small bug that disabled the scheduled run if it tries to make a backup while it still runs.. the newest version is 2.15

without updating to the latest running with tar solved my problem. I'll try updating to the latest version and will let you know if i can switch back to 7z

Thanks

[Tomse]

the reason why tar doesn't have this problem (right now) is that it's faster than 7z, but the compression ratio isn't big. 7z takes a longer time to compress as its compression is better. when you get a large db and lots of attachments the same problem would occur using tar.

as I said earlier I've implemented some features where you cannot make a manual backup when the scheduled backup is running, same feature also handles this problem. The new menu page gives the possuibility to reset the "backup is running" flag in case that something occurs and the backup job isn't marked complete (i.e. power failure during backup)

I'm very interested in hearing your feedback and general experience with this plugin.

cheers

i installed the new versions and on a single run using 7z it worked correctly.
i'll let you know how it behaves during the weekend

Thanks!

[Tomse]

[luca]

Confirmed, i get a single 7z file on each run.

Thanks
