BackUp ZC [Support Thread]

[smoke133]

I'm trying to exclude my images folder from being backup. I'm not sure if I'm doing right. I'm editing the archive.php in the classes folder. Here is what I have there.

         function exclude_files($list)
    {
        $temp = $this->list_files($list);
        foreach ($temp as $current)
            $this->exclude[] = $current;
              $example->exclude_files("../images/*.*");
    } 

Is this correct?

Also it would be nice if there was a restore option, at least for the db.

No need to edit the class file.

To exclude more then one directory or file I had to change the exclude_files variable to an array. Note the changes below.

File YOUR_ADMIN/backup_zc.php

Find at line 62

$exclude_files = '../cache/*.*'; // Exclude cache directory as default 

Here is where you would add your list of directories/files that you want to exclude.

Replace with

// Note each directroy or file name must be surrounded with double quotes and a single comma with no space separating each.
$exclude_files = array("../cache/*.*","../images/*.*"); 

This change is for the display of excluded.
Fine at line 388

echo DIR_FILES_EXCLUDED.'<b>'. $exclude_files . '</b><br />'; 

Replace with

echo DIR_FILES_EXCLUDED.'<b>'. implode(",",$exclude_files) . '</b><br />'; 

This change is to match backup_zc which will download the archive.
File YOUR_ADMIN/backup_zc_download.php
Find at line 61

$exclude_files = '../cache/*.*'; // Exclude cache directory as default 

Replace with

  // Note each directroy or file name must be surrounded with double quotes and a single comma with no space separating each.
  $exclude_files = array("../cache/*.*","../images/*.*");

BackUp ZC uses Zen Carts information to understand the server and web site layout. So without a good working Zen Cart the restore can not be done. This is why there is no restore option at this time.

I add the php code like you suggested. The images in the folder are now being exclude from being backup.

The problem that the folders are still showing up on the list folders. Is there a way so that they don't show up on the list?

I only had about 15 min to supply you a fix. I have that on my list to do. Hope to get to it tonight or tomorrow.

As always the list is longer then the hours in a day.

Read the readme file for install and upgrade info.

Thanks for the update Skip. I was having issues again because of the "missing" error_log in the Stats directory and with this update I put the stats directory in the excluded list and it fixed my problems.

Having trouble getting this module to work. The error message that I am getting is below:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'SplFileInfo::getSize() [<a href='splfileinfo.getsize'>splfileinfo.getsize</a>]: stat failed for /home/content/o/u/t/outdoorking/html/stats/error_logs' in /home/content/o/u/t/outdoorking/html/xxxxxxx/backup_zc.php:51 Stack trace: #0 /home/content/o/u/t/outdoorking/html/xxxxxxx/backup_zc.php(51): SplFileInfo->getSize() #1 /home/content/o/u/t/outdoorking/html/xxxxxxx/backup_zc.php(405): directorySize('/home/content/o...') #2 {main} thrown in /home/content/o/u/t/outdoorking/html/xxxxxxx/backup_zc.php on line 51

Any help would be appreciated.

I am on a linux server and using the latest version 1.0.5 backup zc.

This sounds like the same error that bpryor post had Post 7

The fix he used

I was having issues again because of the "missing" error_log in the Stats directory and with this update I put the stats directory in the excluded list and it fixed my problems.

So add this directory /home/content/o/u/t/outdoorking/html/stats/error_logs to the excluded list and that should fix it.

Hi,

Great looking mod, thanks for contributing. I am trying to install this with a fairly modded and patched 1.3.7.1 on a system with PHP 5.2.9. At the admin screen I get a bunch of good looking info, but then over on the right hand side underneath the options box I get the error:

Directories Loaded ...
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: recursiveiteratoriterator in /home/visua18/public_html/tispeed/tsadmin/backup_zc.php on line 44

Any ideas what might be going on there?

You might not have recursiveiteratoriterator loaded in your php setup.

Try looking admin->tools->Server/Version Info

Scroll down to 'SPL support' and see if it is listed.

If it is not listed you will have to activate it in your php.ini file.
