Backup MYSQL Plugin "backup folder is empty"

Hi,

I have installed this contrib. for vers 1.3.0 on the latest version of ZEN, but it's not working.
The backup button/function is not there. Only the restore button/function.

Is it possible to use this on the latest version or does the contrib need to be updated`?

Thanks

I have it installed on version 1.3.5 on numerous sites, not a problem.

Make sure that /admin/backups is set to 777 or it will not show the Backup button ...

Hello,

So I have done. The folder is set to 777. Belw you can see a message from admin and DB settings.

Database Backup Manager - MySQL
NOTE: You do not have SSL enabled. Any downloads you do from this page will not be encrypted. Doing backups and restores will be fine, but download/upload of files from/to the server presents a security risk.

// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'false');

Any ideas?

Thanks....

At this time, the only secure page in the Admin is the login ...

This will be changed in a future release when we redo the Admin ...

Thanks, but any idea what causes the missing backup link and image?

I use this add on a lot (thanks Dr byte)

i got an error msg. saying that my folder admin/backups does no exist, i shall set it in the configure.php

it did exist and was set to 777 and had clear reference in the configure file. it was a silly mistake of mine and there for i would like to shear it for the next zenners trying to get it right.

In the configure file (admin) when you Rename the admin file you got to change it at 3 places

#1 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin_name/');
#2 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin_name/');

and the physical file define
#3 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/1234/public_html/admin_name/');

If you do not change the last one; nothing will be affected only your BACKUPS folder. that's why i have missed it and used the site in production for months

so when you get a error stating "Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php." and you know that it does and is set to 777; make sure that the "DIR_FS_ADMIN" is set to the new name of the admin folder.
