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 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

Regards,

At which point does it fail for 3GB+ db size?

It has been tested with 1.5GB data. Theoretically, it should work with up to 10GB.

The issue that can sometimes happen is that a portion of the upload might fail (due to network issue) and it gets retried. Right now there is a hard limit of 5 retry per upload instead of per chunk.

So if there are total of 5+ failure during upload (due to network issue), it will fail.

The product generated a * .tar 3.5GB and not upload, I have over 15GB available onedrive.

The product only uploads files smaller.

You should go to backup list and upload that file manually. In this case, you will be able to see live progress of the upload and see what goes wrong.

Please try changing the "OneDrive Upload Fragment Size" to a smaller number. I would suggest trying 5 or 10. I am wondering if the uploads are timing out.

[SaN-DeeP]

10 is not good... 3-5 is suggested as per above reply..

CvP.. databases mostly containing binary files (images/videos on 4.x) fails, others doing awesome..

[Hostboard]

We have discussed adding an option to specify certain directories not be backed up. These would be for more static based items such as arcade files which should reduce the overall file size and improve the upload.

Sorry. I think I know which issue you are facing and it doesn't have a good error msg. Will post the latest version which you can try.

We are using Microsoft OneDrive and their official API which allows up to 10GB single file upload.

From CBM's side, it doesn't really matter as it is just reading your database backup file and sending it to OneDrive in binary format. Your file content should not affect anything unless OneDrive is refusing your content for some reason.

I will update a new version tomorrow. Please try that and if problem still persists, I'd be happy to have a copy of the "problematic" database for detailed testing/debugging.

OneDrive Upload Fragment Size should be set as large as possible for faster performance but you can try smaller values if the connection is dropping.
