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

Have you tried to manually upload the file? Does it complete?

For those that are using this modification and running it on multiple sites under a single hosting account, it is advisable that you edit the start time of the "vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup" modification and off set the times for each site by at least 2 hour increments.

This is found under the ACP > Scheduled Task Manager
Edit: Automatic Database Backup for vBulletin

After you made the configuration changes did you restart your web server?
There will be another update to this modification in the near future.

Does this mod work fine with databases bigger than 1 GB ?

Yes it does. I run this on 3 different sites with off set times at which the backup system runs (2am, 4am, and 6am)

I GZip my Database files and they come down to roughly 625mb My File system is a standard TAR files and are roughly 1.6gb They all transfer to OneDrive.

Manoel J?nior, issues are possibly hosting related, although I am going to reserve that call until we release the next version and see if that clears his issues.

This modification still deserves to be best on list (Voted myself), but it wont work on database more then 3+ GB in size *actually tested*

I will recommend, checking some domain level assurance (G does not allows new accounts to synchronize rapidly)
Setup some synchronization rules by default rather then hammering services

Thank you for the kind words
Please remember that the database portion of the backup is handled completely by Paul's modification vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup. We are piggy backing on top of it to include the site files and OneDrive interfacing.
