Hey great plugin! Im new to this and way over my head I think!! Backups are my lifeline!!

So i’ve managed to get everything working and im using your Automation Script…

AND I get the done done done message, I also get the two backup (.sql.gz) files one in the /wp-content/backup-87e33/ on my live site and the other into the root folder of my “local” site…

BUT what dosn’t seem to happen is the sync….

I should also mention im not using this to sync localy but to a subdomain of the live site (which I plan on being my staging sever for my live site)

Hope this all makes sense! and i hope you can help solve why it isn’t updating my staging server database

I’m not sure if I know what you mean. Can you be a bit more specific?

Could I use the same script to backup my database if I have another mySQL server?

You have to install a curl extension for PHP in your system. Follow the instructions on this page about curl installation in Windows…

I tried this on my site and got the message that

“Logging into WordPress … Curl not installed – this script needs curl to work. ”

Kindly suggest, what do I need to do to this script work

Can you send me those two files thru email. I need those to debug the problem. My address is binnyva, gmail.

Yep. I have the “Debug” folder at the root of the installation. backup.php is not suppose to be inside of debug, right? Also, in the debug folder the tool has already created login.html and backup.html.

I assume you have installed and enabled the plugin. After that, you don’t need to create the backup manually – the backup.php will do it every time you run it.

If its not working, create a folder called ‘Debug’ in the same folder you have backup.php in. The next time you run the command, it will save a copy of the downloaded html file in that folder. You can take a look at that to see if login is done correctly. Let me know how it goes.

Now I feel like I’m missing something really small. I got rid of all the errors. I’m running the backup.php file through firefox in my root directory and I get this message:

“Logging into WordPress … done. Creating a backup … Download file not found – exiting… ”

I’m in Tools/ Backup and peform the backup but it’s not finding the file. Do I need to set this somewhere in the backup.php file?
