You’re number 2 issue is related to number 1 so we should figure out why error_log can’t write to the file.

Can you confirm that wp-content/backup/backup.log has been created and contains “#Fields: date time type message file line”?

@leestewie

1) No matter what frequency you select, the plugin schedules the first backup for the current date and time, and assuming that the 3 minute difference you’re seing is the difference between the server and your computer I would say it functions correctly. I did have to fix the plugin for ‘never’ though.

2) I have added a new field on the settings page where you can enter how many backups to be stored locally. You can obviously enter in 0 for none.

3) I think I am close to nailing it. Update to version 1.1.2 and paste the relevant log entries here.

I’m glad to hear that!

Hi Bharath,

Did you successfully authorize your Google Account on the Backup plugin’s settings page?

If so, can you please paste the contents of the wp-content/backup/backup.log file here?

Marking this as resolved.

Just marking this as resolved.

Hi Lee,

First of all thank you for your great feedback!

I will try to answer your questions/issues in reverse order.

1. I solved the frequency problem. It was a miscalculation on my part.

2. As it is right now, if you set the number of backups to 3, you will end up always having the 3 most recent backups on both Google Drive and your wp-content/backup folder. Would you like an option to not have any backups kept in the wp-content/backup folder?

3. The failure to upload to Google Drive is a bit more difficult to tackle because as it stands the Google Drive/Docs API is undergoing a lot of changes and I have found that while one implementation might work for me it might not work for others.

I will have to extend the log file to include the HTTP responses Google gives in order to successfully solve this problem. Please update to the leanest version of the Backup plugin as soon as it is available and post the relevant log entries here.

Again, I am very grateful for your feedback and help.

Thanks for that. Updated.

As you suggested, [Plugin: SMTP] now stores encrypted passwords and doesn’t display passwords on the Settings page.
