Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Cloud Backup Manager

This add-on enhances the vBulletin Cron Based DB Backup by adding two key features:

1. Takes backup of your files.
2. Upload the file/db backups to cloud (OneDrive).

Please note that some of the options of "Corn Based DB Backup" are incompatible with this such as combine db backup files set to false.

Features to be implemented in future:

1. [s]Cleanup older backup files.[/s] Done.
2. [s]Email notifications on failure.[/s] Done.
3. Convert all texts to phrases and make this product ready for translation.

FAQ

1. Does using this add-on gives you (developer) access to my (forum admin) OneDrive account?
   No. You create your own app to access your own OneDrive. I have no control over it.
2. What do I put in OneDrive Folder URL in options?
   You don't need to worry about it (generally). It will auto populate.
3. Where are the backups stored?
   OneDrive/vB Cloud Backup Manager
4. Will this work on shared servers?
   Mostly not. It requires shell_exec and "unlimited" execution time (transferring gigabytes of data takes a while) which are generally not available on shared hosting except a few (such as HostGator).

How to Install

1. Extract and upload the files in "upload" folder
2. Import XML file from "import XML" to vB AdminCP > Products > Add/Import
3. Create app (see below) and put "Client ID" and "Client Secret" in options.

How to Create the App
First you need to create an app and let the add-on know details about your app.

1. Go to https://account.live.com/developers/applications/create
2. Give a name and click accept.
3. Click API Settings.
4. Put yoursite.com/admincp/onedrive-callback.php in Redirect URLs.
5. Save.
6. Click API Settings
7. Get "Client ID" and Client Secret" and put them in vBulletin Admin CP > CBM > Options

I hope it can also backup via scp to a vps or dedicated server on the next few updates. Really good plugin.

One of the reasons I choose to use OneDrive is because there are many options available to sync the data stored there to other services.

I actually have done this in the past. Will see if I can integrate that into this.

One of the key reason we are using OneDrive is because it is the cheapest (1TB basically for free) and supports largest files (10GB each). We think this is sufficient for our needs.


A few notes about the state of this add-on:
1. It will not work if your admincp is renamed. Minor issue; will be fixed in next update.
2. It will fail to upload large files to onedrive due to some API limitation. Fix will be provided in next update.

Correction: Not 1TB; unlimited.
