Update on Backup Plugin
« on: March 31, 2012, 03:30:48 pm »
As far as I know, the latest (and maybe also the only) version of the Backup Plugin is v1.0. I have been using this on v1.7.5 Feng Office with no problems other than a few glitches during Installation.

The main issue with installation was lack of explicit instructions (I'm no expert in this subject matter), but more interestingly, the use of a database User password 'DB_PASS' that clearly caused a problem.

You may have experienced this yourself. The offending password for me was <%u376M$s*t> without the brackets. The replacement password that worked; i.e., allowed the application to run, was <RB4g62jxYP>, again without the brackets.

So, as a wild guess, maybe a general rule should be if you intend using the backup plugin you should avoid the use of symbols such as "%" in your database password.

Someone familiar with the code could probably explain this, but be warned.

What I would like to know is how best to use the backup file created and saved to the tmp/backup folder.

In other words, what are the recommended steps for using this backup zip file to restore the Feng Office installation?

I will properly document this information in the Wiki so long as I get the input from those of you who know better than I just what to do here. For such a basic and critically important function, this should be much better detailed than is currently the case.

Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated!

Thank You,
David

Restoration would be manual.
