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

Not sure I understand using with Linux but if you are referring to uploading the backups to a Linux box, no this will only work with the OneDrive service.

Yes, it is installed correctly and it is very simple. Perhaps my issue is a large database. I see the OneDrive token in my repository but not on OneDrive.

Is Paul's database backup add-on functioning properly? We are not doing anything database related other than uploading it.

[RichieBoy67]

Yes, I have been using it for years.

I do have some very large tables.

This is still being investigated and am waiting on a quote for an update.

[Manoel J?nior]

I gave this product.

I'm using vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup and created a cron on the server to upload to my Dropbox account.

wow this is good one.. will try it soon

For those of you having trouble uploading "larger" files. How large is large? My understanding is OneDrive allows a maximum file size of 10GB. While I wait on the developer for an update, the ability to "split" the archive into files smaller than 10GB parts will be added to the immediate things to do.
