MYSQL Backup addon error

[Elijah]

Elijah,

Looks like you don't have everything uploaded. Yes, there is a backup_mysql.php file in the admin\includes\languages\english directory.

Make sure you upload all of the directories with their files in them.

Hey Paul, thanks for the reply. I do have the backup_mysql.php file in the \english directory, I just thought the it was looking for it in the \languages directory as well. I double checked to make sure I have all files in the correct folders and they look fine, but I am still getting the error message that MYSQLDUMP backup utility cannot be found. Any ideas? My host is myhosting.com.

I have been locally backing-up and remotely-restoring for some time with no problems during the development phase.

Some problems I have with remote-backup/local-restore:

1) I note that using this to backup the db on my remote hosting server will produce a compressed file when backed up to that server irrespective of whether No Compression is selected or not.

2) A downloaded backup is generated as pure sql correctly.

3) On a local pc, I cannot restore the compressed file produced in 1).
It gives me the error:
Failure: The database was NOT restored. ERROR: FILE NOT FOUND: [D:/My Documents/..etc which points to the right place.

4) The pure sql from the remote, copied manually to that same directory as the 3) error on the local, restores ok.

Evidently your local pc isn't capable of uncompressing the file properly. If the file is gzipped then you need a way to decompress the gzipped file. Most windoze computers don't do that natively. If you have a tool for doing that, you'll need to properly configure the compression tool filenames in the language file in order for it to use them.

[torvista]

ok, I understand, thanks.

What about point 1) where it ignores the compression/pure sql selection?

[DrByte]

No idea. Never had it do that to me. Granted, I don't see any good reason to do that, since uncompressed SQL files are prone to download problems, and are needlessly huge.

Hello,
I have just installed this module Backup mysql plugin v. 1.4. when I turn it on it displays these errors:

ERROR: This backup script seldom works when safe_mode is enabled or open_basedir restrictions are in effect.
If you get no errors doing a backup, check to see whether the file is less than 200kb. If so, then the backup is likely unreliable.
ERROR: Your server's "exec()" command has been disabled. This script cannot run. Ask your host if they are willing to re-enable PHP exec().
Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php.

Pls yould someone tell mehow can I fix it? My Zen is version: Zen Cart 1.3.9e, PHP 5.3

Thanks a lot in advance!

Are you administering your own server?
