    Default Having problem with PRO Backup

    I just installed Pro Backup (zen) backup, all the backup modules seem to be related to A71backup. Everything seemed to work except it is throwing an error of:

    Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /backup_mysite_backend.php on line 106

    line 106 is: $output = array_merge($output, $this->build_tree($path));
    }
    }
    }
    }
    there are 18 lines of the same warning.
    Then it states: Site successfully backed up. File created: /backups/leafriveremporium.com_280320091518.tar
    Ignored the following files: the cache files

    I would appreciate any help you may give on this, I need a way to backup my files that does not take forever to download. I can download with filezilla with security key over highspeed internet. But with the security and the compression it takes over 8 hours to download my files.
    Thank You

    Files do not change unless you change/add to them...

    What I suggest to all is that they "maintain" a local copy of their files.
    Make any alterations to this copy and then FTP the altered version to their server.

    In this way, if you follow it with a vengance, you always have a current local copy of the files on your server. You also do not need to "download/backup" ever again.....
    Good pratice might be to periodically refresh your local copy for insurance only.

    Your Database in another matter and in a busy shop should be backed up daily.

    Is this a paid module you got somewhere?

    I'm considering this add on, but wondering if others have had success with it.

    marketeria2008, did you ever get this to work?

    Same problem here.

    Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /backup_mysite_backend.php on line 106

    Lots of them.

    tar file does not have the /includes folder in it. Somehow it just does not take it all. Would be a great tool if it worked. The tar file is a lot easier to download.

    This is a common error for php scripts written during the PHP4 era, that don't properly check whether variables have been initialised or are non-empty. PHP4 was very forgiving about that, but PHP5 is much less so (and rightfully). I suspect that you have gone through a PHP upgrade, even if your webhost didn't tell you!

    The only solution is usually to rework the code as good practice would have demanded in the first place, which can be anything from trivial to very difficult.

    I ended up getting to this same error, but not initially. The 1st error I ran into was with backup_mysite.php and I realized that the error was due to the code referring to the wrong directory.

    So my edit on backup_mysite.php was on Line 19, and I manually typed out the correct location after the Root (note that I had zen installed in a /cart subfolder)...

    require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/cart/admin/backup_mysite_backend.php');

    That fixed my initial problem, but lead to the error "backup_mysite_backend.php on line 106" a bunch of times.

    It's really the same problem, so refer back to Line 76 on backup_mysite_backend.php and add your directory. (again, mine was /cart/.)

    Line 76 $path = $dir.'/cart/'.$readdir;

    Hope that helped.

    And if you renamed your admin directory, you need to search and replace everything named admin with your directory name as well. Done that but have the PHP5 and line 106 problem.

    As Kuroi mentioned, the code needs to be checked for PHP5. Beyond by horizon. Anybody wants to volunteer? I think this would be a very very useful addition to any zen cart shop.
