Not sure why but 'BackUp ZenCart' does not appear in my Tools menu in the admin. I've double checked and the all files are uploaded. Is there an sql patch file that I missed or...???

When I select Back up I get warning message:

WARNING: You have entered /home/nohart/public_html/extras in backup_zconfig.php as a EXCLUDED directory BUT it DOES NOT EXIST on your system.

WARNING: You have entered /home/nohart/public_html/pub in backup_zconfig.php as a EXCLUDED directory BUT it DOES NOT EXIST on your system.

How do I correct this or deselect this it seems to be hard codded.

I noticed that this sort of selection is in the included pictures in the zip file also?

Open backup_zconfig.php and edit:

  */
  // ***********************************************************************
  // Set default exclude directories
  // ***********************************************************************
  $exclude_files = array("".DIR_FS_CATALOG."cache",
  			"".DIR_FS_CATALOG."extras",
  			"".DIR_FS_CATALOG."pub"
  			);

To look like this:

  */
  // ***********************************************************************
  // Set default exclude directories
  // ***********************************************************************
  $exclude_files = array("".DIR_FS_CATALOG."cache",
  			"".DIR_FS_CATALOG."pub"
  			);

That will remove the extra folder from the exclude list.

Ok that worked but I still get an error for:

Excluded /home/nohart/public_html/cache 1.84 MB XX

I guess I have to remove that reference also?

Is this an error in the file included or is this a file structure error on my end?

You need the cache folder. Zen Cart and ZC Backup use this folder.

That means ZC Backup will not add the cache folder to the archive file.

Ok I deleted the other line also. Looks ok now with no errors shown at the top of the page any more.

I dont even understand why this line(s) is in the file due that these folders dont even exist in the folder structure. I am running Zen Cart v1.3.9h

Any way maybe the author will revise & or correct the future version...

Thank you so much for the help!

I installed this on an unmodified ZC v1.3.9h, MySQL 5.0.51a, PHP Version: 5.2.4 on an Apache server.

I have set php.ini to allow 1024M of memory and I have set the zip compression to as high as 9 and the memory limit in the config to as high as 1000M. I have set permissions on both cache and backups to 777. I excluded the images folder and a complete site size is less than 20M. My database is 4.7M

I only ever get a blank screen, regardless of settings: single directory or full site, sql on or off, download or not.

No files are created in the backups folder at all - just a plain blank screen for the response.

Any ideas?
