[Plugin: BackUpWordPress] Email with download link but no attachment

Please use a cron job to get your recent zip file sent to your email address, google for better cron codes.

Just updated to 1.4.1. Glad to see the advanced options as a form rather than having to edit the config file. Much more user friendly.

Perhaps my Topic title is confusing. I’m not expressing an issue, but rather a feature request. I do not want the ZIP file to be sent by email, just the download link. I managed to hack a bit and get the result I’m looking for, but it could be a handy option to include on the settings page.

Also, it would be nice to be able to send to multiple email addresses.

Keep up the good work. This plugin is on it’s way to being my recommended backup plugin for my website design clients.

We have been thinking about adding multiple backup schedules. eg database daily, files once a week etc. This would certainly allow you to send to multiple email addresses.

It would not be too hard to add the option to only send a backup reminder rather than the file, however we are keen to keep the plugin as simple as possible and avoid having too many complex options. Its something we will have to look into.

Thanks for your feedback.

Love both of these ideas! Keep up the good work.

First, thank you very much for the plugin. My previous solution stopped working and I needed to find a replacement and BackupWordpress works great!

Since this thread already touches that topic, I’m not going to create a new one for it.

I’d love to have an option to get the notification (so I know that the backup is running fine), but never with an attachment.

I have a remote computer that daily mirrors the backup directory, so I don’t need it in my inbox too.

Currently, I’m commenting out the whole block with

if ( filesize( $file ) < 1000 * 1000 * 10 ) {
[..]
}

in backupwordpress/classes/email.php, but I have to remember to do this after every update.

An option ‘[ ] Attach backup to notification’ would be very nice.
