WordPress Backup and Restore Scripts all done!

Filed under: — Mark @ 1:34 am

I have made some changes to the WordPress Backup procedure and added the Restore script to it. Now you have the ability to backup your MySql database and download it locally, backup your WordPress folder and download it locally, and restore your MySql database, all from the comfort of a web interface (which can be integerated into the WP admin interface). There is added password protection thrown in as well.
I had the nasty fortune of using my own backup and restore script this morning which forced me to code some bugfixes and finally emerged into a completely different way of backing up and restoring.
Please download the new version from the same link.
This has not been tested on a Windows web server (and I am not sure if the applications that I use are present in a Windows/MySql installation, but I need some feedback)
Please let me know what you think. OH Yes….and A Happy New Year to Everyone!!
Peace

  5. Hi!
    In the Readme.txt file you said that this plugin wasn’t tested on Windows platform. Well, I’ve installed it on WinXp + Apache 1.3.29 + PHP4.3.4 + mySQL 4.0.16.

    Backup works fine. However, there’s a little quirk when restoring DB, which has to do with / and on filenames, causing the restore to fail.

  6. I don’t have the wp-admin/menu.txt file (I don’t know why), but I add an entry in wp-admin/menu.php:

    $submenu['profile.php'][15] = array(__('Backup/Restore'), 5, 'backupRestore.php');

    It does the link in the admin/user menu correctly, I think, but when it launches the backupRestore.php, the page is blank. The code in the browser only shows:


    [html][body][/body][/html]

    (see “[” as “< ”...)

    The original code in the php file is normal.

    I don’t know what is happening. Do you?

  7. I’ve installed the plugin, but even though I’m logged in as the administrator I’m getting the “I’m sorry, you’re a newbie” screen. I’m running WP 1.5.1.
