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

Sorry guys but this is an add-on to vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup and is not a stand alone system. Paul's add-on supports 4.1.0 forward.

Will you implement auto delete old backups in the future?

Yes, there will be an option to auto-delete the old backup file from your server, once the upload to OneDrive has been confirmed/made. We are also looking at some sort of log file and or notification system.

I get the following error after logging in via "List Backup Files":

PHP Code:

HTTP status code not expected - got - 400 on line 104 in /is/htdocs/************/trgcommunity/packages/cbm/includes/onedrive.php

As soon as I manage to sign with One Drive, I'll install on my servers.

I needed use IE to create the account. All fine, mod installed

One question? there will be no more backups in the server?

Possibly;

Features to be implemented in future:

• Cleanup older backup files.
• Email notifications on failure.
• Convert all texts to phrases and make this product ready for translation.

So do this to check:
- Paul's mod is required, this is simply an add-on... so where does Pauls mod save your backups now? Exactly! All you do is check that location on your server before installing this. If the file is generated then removed it cleans itself up OTHERWISE you'll need to go in every so often and delete the old backups depending on disk space i.e. if you have limits or are close to limit.

Novel idea though imo!

Hi Guys.

I have not been able to update this mod and respond to your questions due to some issues on my side.

Anyways, I'm fixing up this mod and will release a new version soon with bug fixes and more features.

The end goal of this add-on is to completely automate the backup process including deleting backups once they are uploaded to OneDrive.
