XF2 [8WR] Database Backup

xF2 Add-on XF2 [8WR] Database Backup 2.1.0.5

No permission to download
  • There is now an option split database and file structure backups into multiple files. This will help get around file size restrictions to various third party backup solutions.
  • Changed how logging works. The logs will now be more informative on how long it takes to do specific steps, and where it stopped, if for any reason.
  • Added some PHP behavioral commands to the backup step. Hopefully this will prevent some timeouts for some forums.

  • The "Remote options" section has been completely rewritten. As such, you will need to redo all your options in this section after upgrading. If you don't, remote uploads will fail, and possibly produce errors.
  • BackBlaze has been added as a remote upload option!
  • Dropbox has been added as a remote upload option!
  • Fixed an issue related to Guzzle duplication in XF2.1.
  • Public service announcement from XenForo: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/public-service-announcement-check-your-mysql-backup.152740/

    While this addon really has no issues with this announcement. I felt it would probably be wise to mention it in this update. If you are having issues related to the announcement, you can simply add --default-character-set=utf8mb4 to the "MySQL options > Custom dump options" field in the options for this addon. I have also made this the default setting for this field for future installers.
  • This addon will no longer re-open your board after running a backup, if your board was closed originally. It will retain the open/close setting of your board at the time the backup began.
  • Added a few explanations for the Amazon S3 fields in the options to help people figure it out.
