What didn’t work about it? It should work.

Thanks for your detailed reply,

Can you not restore your database by importing the backupwordpress database file using something like phpmyadmin (there is even a phpmyadmin plugin which you could use if you’re host doesn’t provide access.

I will continue to mull a restore feature over, maybe it will be something I implement in the future.

Thanks for the bug report guys, your host must have disabled shell_exec, I’ve just released an update to better handle situations where shell_exec isn’t available, even without shell_exec your backups should work fine.

Could I ask which hosts you are both on, it would be useful for me to know which hosts are disabling shell_exec so I can test and look for workarounds.

Hi Zoltok,

I haven’t seen that error before, could you give me some details about your setup, server etc.

Do you get the error every time you try to activate it?

Hi Vehicros,

Thanks for checking it out, my aim with this release was to simplify the setup and configuration so that the plugin “Just Works”, so hopefully you’ll appreciate that.

A restore feature is something I’m giving a lot of thought too, I’m just not sure how good it could ever really be compared with just restoring your files over ftp. Do you have experience with other restore features?

I recently took over development of this plugin from the previous owner and have just released a major new version which is a complete re-write of the plugin.

I’d love it if you’d check it out and let me know what you think.

Hi Springthistle,

I actually recently took over development of the plugin myself and just released a new version, a complete re-write.

I’d love it if you’d check it out and let me know what you think.

Hi Mike,

I have recently taken over the development of the BackUpWordpress Plugin.

It looks to me like you are hitting a memory limit when the plugin attempts to email you your backup file.

Are your average backup files larger than 30mb?

If so then you might want to try raising your memory limit even higher (make it higher than the size of your backup file).

Let me know if this fixes the issue.
