<< Back to Plugin

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** March 5, 2015 - Version 1.04 Released

New Requirements: This plugin now requires CMS v2.60 and "Background Tasks" enabled.

NEW FEATURES
- Backup now runs as a "Background Task" every hour
- You can now supply a list of tables to skip for backup. Defaults to _cron_log, _error_log, _outgoing_mail, _nlb_log

MINOR CHANGES / BUG FIXES
- Backup directories: Now supporting custom backup directories (requires CMS v2.60)
- Backup filenames: Better hostname detection for backup filename prefix, now using hostname from: Admin > General > Program URL
- Documentation: Warning is now displayed on Plugins and Settings menus when "Background Tasks" isn't enabled (now required).
- Bug fix: Fixed issue where an error would sometimes be displayed when old backup files were being removed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** June 21, 2011 - Version 1.03 Released

MINOR CHANGES / BUG FIXES
- Backup filenames now default to server IP address instead of hostname.
This prevents duplicate backup files being created when there are multiple hostnames used to access a site.
- Auto backups will no longer be created if software isn't completely installed yet.
- Fixed typo on line 13 of autoBackup.php: "last X years" is now "last X months"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** July 28, 2010 - Version 1.02 Released

MINOR CHANGES / BUG FIXES
- Fixed incorrect version number from 1.01 (still reported version as 1.00)
- Fixed issue where weekly backups weren't always being updated.

*** March 17, 2009 - Version 1.01 Released

NEW FEATURES
- Automatic hourly backups are now supported (up to 24 per day)
- Email Backups: Enter your email address to receive automatic backups via email
- Email Backups: Email backup files will automatically be compressed if supported by your server

MINOR CHANGES / BUG FIXES
- Backup filenames: New 'AUTOBACKUP_DEFAULT_PREFIX' lets you hard code backup filename instead of using domain name
- Backup filenames: Only unique domain name is used for backup files to prevent duplicate files. Removed: www, :port, etc
- Optimized backup routine for speed and performance on high-traffic sites
