What is the point in restoring from a backup that doesn't have all the database fields and files required to properly restore? |

Re: New module for X-Cart 5 - Backup Master
Thank you, guys, for the feedback and suggestions!
The ability to include custom database tables and files is a good improvement and we have it in our plans for the "Pro" version. Quote:
Well, although most shops don't have any 3rd-party (non-X-Cart) database tables, I saw a number of websites having X-Cart installed along with third-party software in the same database. Let's say you install a custom module and it crashes the shop. There is no need to revert other software to the state that it was a month ago. Moreover, reverting all database tables and files to their past state may result into the loss a month of forum discussions, for example. Last edited by xplorer : 05-24-2016 at 08:01 PM. |

Sorry for answering with a question on a question, but what's the point of having custom (irrelevant to X-Cart) fields in one database? As xplorer said if a custom feature is developed as a module for X-Cart (that can't be the other way in X-Cart 5) it will be dumped as well. So, you'll restore your cart to the 100% working state.

Re: New module for X-Cart 5 - Backup Master
I'm more concerned with custom tables that support X-Cart. Unrelated tables are collateral damage.

Custom tables which are part of custom tasks developed as X-Cart modules will be backed up as well. If it's a custom module and it's installed using default modules installation procedures then X-Cart "knows" about these tables and will include them into backup created by Backup Master.

I will provide (in this forum thread) information on changes when releasing new versions of the module, like I do for other my modules (for example, for Shop by Brands module: v5.2.5, v5.2.6, v5.2.7, v5.2.8). Also, I include information on changes in the Main.php script that you can find in the module's directory (classes/XLite/Module/QSL/{module_code}/Main.php).

Re: New module for X-Cart 5 - Backup Master
Are the backup files compressed? If I remember right, when I backup the MySQL database from cPanel they are compressed and the stock admin MySQL database backup is not. Just makes it easier to download when they are compressed.

Re: New module for X-Cart 5 - Backup Master
Yes, the module compresses files and the database dump into a zip archive (or tar/tgz/tbz if ZipArchive extension is not enabled in your PHP server configuration).

Re: New module for X-Cart 5 - Backup Master
I've uploaded the 5.2.1 version of Backup Master module to the marketplace server.
This version: - improves the logic that selects files to be incldued into the archive (now it selects all files inside var/ directory except var/tmp/, var/log/ and var/backup/ subdirectories) - fixes the issue with the backup process hanging up due to restricted directory access permissions - improves the error reporting and adds a number of detailed error messages - fixes the bug in checking the free space on the disk |

Re: New module for X-Cart 5 - Backup Master
The new 5.2.2 version of Backup Master module implements a few optimizations that decrease the memory usage when creating backups.
