BackWPup - WordPress Backup Plugin

backwpup's Issues

wp-cron job seems to be sucking server GPU

A client was having problems with high amounts of GPU being consumed by wp-cron.php on their site. In a effort to test what was going on, I ran several wp-cron jobs, and the phone_home cron from this plugin returned a nonce error. I disabled the plugin, and GPU usage dropped dramatically (see attached). Not sure what or how, but it seems like that nonce error was an issue for sure. My bet is that the error occured and it kept trying to fire over and over.

Just wanted to make you aware of the issue...let me know if you need any further information.

Running plugin v3.5.1 on WP v4.9.6, server is running php 7.0.6

Change Admin bar menu item to default:off

In settings uncheck the box and hit save, but it just refreshes and keeps the old setting. Please let me know how to remove BackWPup from the admin bar. Note, this is in multisite and single site

I had to wipe out line 99 in backwpup.php, for now, but surely the next update will overwrite that. It would be great if the admin bar menu were an option with a default of OFF, but certainly the inability to change the state is bug at this point.

Daniel said he was willing to change Admin bar menu item to default:off and then check to see if the toggle worked properly at that point.

Where is the latest code?

I was wondering where the latest code for the plugin is hosted, to possibly be able to make PRs if need be.

Fatal error Executing Routine

I'm using backwpup plugin in a wordpress multisite installation, with the following configurations:
-> Database Backup;
-> Files Backup;
-> WordPress XML Export;
-> Plugins List.
-> Backup to a folder and to a dropbox account;
-> Execution with Wp-Cron.

OBS: Both Wordpress install and BackwpUp plugin are in the latest version. I use the plugin iThemes security to keep my websites secure.

Suddenly it stopped working giving a whitescreen with the following error:
Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in /home/.../public_html/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/inc/class-destination-ftp.php on line 285

Can someone give help? Thanks!

3.4.2 breaks archive name rotation

After update from 3.4.1 to 3.4.2 the mechanism with the archive name seems to be broken. Snapshot from task settings:

Archivename: backwpup_x3fgib1mp_LF_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%i-%s
Note: In order for backup file tracking to work, the archive name must begin with backwpup_ioafrg0sh_.
Preview: backwpup_1fswoadloh_LF_2017-09-30_21-10-34.zip

When I reload the page (F5) the values change again:

Archive name: backwpup_gc3safabl_LF_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%i-%s
Note: In order for backup file tracking to work, the archive name must begin with backwpup_25ixuhgiyp_.
Preview: backwpup_1fswoaefb5_LF_2017-09-30_21-17-24.zip

When I hit F5 again values change again, etc.

On 3.4.1 Archive name, Note and Preview all had the same random code. In 3.4.2 they are different every and I think that that is not how it is supposed to be.

I don´t use to use the backwpup dashboard all the time, just when it is necesary. It will not be better if the menu is inside of tools?

"tar" long filename support

BackupWP_Create_Archive::tar_file should support the GNU long filename extension (instead of being limited to 99 characters). Using the "zip" format as a workaround is not feasible for image backups, as it takes a very long time without any benefits (double compression).

Backup to Azure Blob Storage failing authentication

Using the same Account Name and Access Key that I've had working perfectly for years, suddenly since November 13, 2017, I'm getting this error next to Container selection under Blob container in the MS Azure access keys section.

Fail: Code: 403 Value: Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature. details (if any): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Error><Code>AuthenticationFailed</Code><Message>Server failed to authenticate the request.

Is this a change on Azure's end that BackWPup isn't accommodating, or vice-versa?

Failed opening required autoload_real.php

The latest version, 3.5.0 broke one of the websites I'm maintaining.

I am not sure what's happening but the log file shows that error:

[16-May-2018 22:23:55 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/[user]/public_html/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php' (include_path='.:/opt/alt/php71/usr/share/pear') in /home/[user]/public_html/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/vendor/autoload.php on line 5

Allow PathStyle for S3

Using minio as an S3 provider, the connection to the bucket fails, because the PathStyle cannot be set to true.

Using the direct IP of my minio instance, BackWPup tries this:
http://bucket.1.2.3.4
instead of this:
http://1.2.3.4/bucket

Would be nice to have this as an option 👍

backwpup_jobs option is corrupted when get_site_option fails

Hi!

Sometimes a job may end with DB error:

[08-Jul-2017 20:00:07] Uploading to Dropbox …
[08-Jul-2017 20:00:37] WARNING: Error while sending QUERY packet. PID=23698
[08-Jul-2017 20:00:37] Backup transferred to /SiteName/backwpup_1234567_2017-07-08_20-00-03.zip

[08-Jul-2017 20:00:38] WARNING: Job finished with warnings in 35 seconds. Please resolve them for correct execution.

If this has happend, the backwpup_jobs option contains only the current job id with only two fields inside, lastbackupdownloadurl & lastruntime. All other jobs and all other fields of the current job are deleted.

I have to restore the option manually, to keep backing up. Facing the issue quite often, once a day or so.

PHP Error: $this can not be used in static methods

When opening my development workspace that happens to have BackWPup in it (as it is a clone of a live site) I realized that VS Code is complaining about a use of $this in a static function in BackWPup. See the full error below:

{
	"resource": "app/public/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/inc/class-job.php",
	"owner": "_generated_diagnostic_collection_name_#0",
	"code": "undefined",
	"severity": 8,
	"message": "$this can not be used in static methods.",
	"source": "php",
	"startLineNumber": 1165,
	"startColumn": 5,
	"endLineNumber": 1165,
	"endColumn": 10
}

From my own experience I’m pretty sure that to fix this you need to make the log() function a static. Within static functions you simply cannot use $this, as those are two different scopes/modes of the code.

Anyhow, I thought that I’d mention this, in case it is a real problem that you want to fix.

Log file incomplete

Hi @danielhuesken ,

I have BackWPup in several WordPress installs, a few days a go I've came across something new.
I installed the plugin for the first time on a site, and it installed the current v3.2.4.
After the settings roundup and creating the first job with the default Normal (translated) log, the log just write the first 4 lines, the last one is "type is archive". After that, nothing. If I change the type of log to debug it writes a perfeclty complete log.

As I'm used to Normal log being ok, I've compared to other WordPress installs. They were working perfect. But one thing bothers me, it's the same version, current version of BackWPup.

Probably the issue is not recent, somehow it was masked by old settings in my database, because after I've changed from Normal to Debug and then from Debug to Normal again, in the WordPress installs that were working fine with Normal logs, it just stopped working, exactly as the recently new install where I found this issue.

I've checked the Normal translated and not translated, and the problem is the same.

A final suggestion, to be a little more clear, maybe there could be added a line in the header of the log mentioning wich mode it is made in.
ex.:
[INFO] Log Level: Normal (translated)

Best regards

PHP Parse Error in 3.5 Broke Site

Updated to 3.5 and it broke my site. All pages returned 500 errors, including admin pages, until I disabled the plugin from the console. Log shows the following:

Manifest.json is erased if another file has the same name .

On my Installation, I've a file called "manifest.json", containing the metadata for chrome android ( https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/installtohomescreen#supporting ), so when I do a backup, the manifest.json created by backwpup is erased .

So I've some questions :

• I check your code, and manifest.json don't seems to be read, so, what it his job ?
• Can I change his name ?

Not able to connect to Azure storage account if it is in "resource manager" deployment model

BackWPup user meta stored after plugin has been removed

A user reported on the German WordPress support forums, that the user capabilities for BackWPup still are shown after deactivating and removing BackWPup. The value of the capability (e.g. backwpup_admin) is stored as serial data for key wp_capabilities in table wp_usermeta and should be cleared upon plugin uninstall.

Multiple Backups on WP Multisites

My WP Multisite creates multiple backups since the following change:

a4fb0a2#diff-29b55d7c830b04ca5f3b553cfcd9f78a

And as far as I can see it: is_main_network() is always true for every site of my multisite. And so the backup cron is executed by every subpage.

This should work:
if ( ! is_main_site() || ( ! is_main_network() && ! is_main_site() ) ) { return; }

Or:

if ( ! is_main_network() ) { return; }

if ( ! is_main_site() ) { return; }

Necessary/good to test for wp-compat on frontend?

I just saw in Query monitor on one of my sites:

Query	Abruffunktion	Komponente	Zeilen	Zeit
SELECT option_value FROM mok_options WHERE option_name = 'backwpup_cfg_hash' LIMIT 1	BackWPup_System_Tests->is_wp_version_compatible() wp-content/plugins/backwpup/inc/class-system-tests.php:33 BackWPup::get_plugin_data() wp-content/plugins/backwpup/backwpup.php:190 get_site_option() wp-includes/option.php:1109 get_network_option() wp-includes/option.php:1244 get_option() wp-includes/option.php:98	Plugin: backwpup	1	0,0646

Is it really necessary to test that on the frontend?
Or is it limited to logged in and admins?

Add filter to curl settings to support WP_PROXY

Please add a filter in future versions of BackWPup so a customer can use a proxy for cURL; top priorities are Amazon S3 and Dropbox.

Split backup file into chunks

I'm running into an issue where the hosting has file size limitations, so a complete backup cannot be made in one go.

It would be really great if the compressed backup could be chunked into multiple files.
The file size of each chunk could be defined in the settings.

Temporary split files are filling the uploads folder and the server HDD

In Backwpup 4.3.5 backup files are generated in the uploads folder which are not cleaned up. Last night this crashed my one of my sites because the HDD was full because of those files.

The backup file limit is 1 but there are multiple of these files.

File permission of the folder is 755

Add DigitalOcean Spaces to S3 destination

DigitalOcean now has an object storage mechanism using the S3 style api and would make a great addition to the S3 destination.

See https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/

URLS are https://..digitaloceanspaces.com (regions with spaces support are sfo2, nyc3, ams3, sgp1)

Delete all the plugin files and data by unistall.

The roles and maybe other data and files remaind in the site once we unistall the plugin. Is not possible to have clean all the backwpup data or content if we not longer whant to use the plugin or if we need to test in a clean enviroment?

Backup before automatically update

    if ( 'wp_maybe_auto_update' !== $event['hook'] )
        return;

Error message: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK

If i will try to do a "Teststart" on BackWPup Version 3.1.1 with define(FORCE_SSLLOGIN, true) in wp-config.php, i get the following Error:

Der HTTP Antwort Test bekommt diesen Fehler "SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed"

The Server is on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with PHP 5.3.2. I can't update to anewer Version. Do you know any Workaround? Is there anything, i can manualy edit in some file?

Excessive transient writes

Query Monitor catches 10 transient writes from the plugin every page load with toolbar.

Call stack:

set_transient()
wp_rand()
wp_generate_password()
WP_Session_Tokens->create()
wp_generate_auth_cookie()
BackWPup_Job::get_jobrun_url()
BackWPup_Adminbar->adminbar()
do_action_ref_array('admin_bar_menu')
wp_admin_bar_render()
do_action('in_admin_header')

It looks like it generates same cookies over and over, so might be better reused.

Bug report for free version of BackWPup

Hello,
I know I have the free versions but still would like to report a bug..

After making a backup to FTP (Netherlands GMT + 2, and FTP displaying local time), between the log and and the backup timestamps displayed in wordpress there is a two hours difference.
The timestamp displayed for the log is the correct one, the timestamp displayed for the backup is two hours in advance..

hope with this remark you can improve your good working plugin..

regards,

Marcel Nijland

Admin Menu Image is not displaying properly in MP6

If you have installed the new Admin Design Plugin MP6 there is glitch with the admin menu image. You can see the problem in the screenshots (normal/hover):

Copy.com Integration

Hey,
I really like backwpup but unfortunately I had to choose a different one because you only have a dropbox integration in the free version and no copy.com. Copy.com offers 15 GB for free which is a lot compared to dropbox.
Perhaps you could integrate copy.com for the next version which would be great.
Thanks.

running a job white screens

Every time I run a job, it white screens and I get a log like the one below. The job screen remains white and will not be viewable until I remove the backup-xxxx-xxxxxxx directories. After doing this I can view the jobs page again, but if I run a job it white screens again.

There are no Nginx errors in the log and access has the requests being successfully completed.

Please let me know if you need any more information to debug this issue.

Error: Call to a member function close() on null

ERROR: Exception caught in Error: Call to a member function close() on null

All sites using 3.5.0 since upgrade are reporting the above error when trying to compress the individual parts (XML, WXR, pluginlist etc.) prior to final archiving - disabling that and saving the Job seems to resolve this. (I actually don't see the benefit in compressing individual files prior to archiving the whole lot - it just adds time to the backup process for no reason.)

Also, when I do a manual backup I notice the "Running for: 524 seconds" appears on the wrong job in Job list (I always have a separate DB and a Full backup in the list) and is also reporting the wrong length of time. Additionally, the time it states under the "Last Run" heading when you click a new job run is incorrect, and then the time the progress bar says it took (84secs) is different than what it saves under the "Last Run" heading (May 21, 2018 at 3:21 pm Runtime: 136 seconds) - ie. it updates the job datetime but not the run time.

Use wp_mail for sending emails

It would be great if you would use wp_mail for all email deliveries, as I'm using a PGP encryption plugin that hooks into it to send encrypted emails.
This works well for the backup logs, as that's the only place that uses wp_mail.
I saw in your code that you're using Swift_Mailer for all other email deliveries.

Not sure it's possible for you to change everything around to not use Swift_Mailer and rely only on wp_mail, but if you could at least add a filter or hook to allow some modification of the email content before it is sent, I could make a mini plugin for myself to use that.

Or is there any other way to get BackWPUp to send encrypted emails?

Thanks!

Option "Max Execution Time" isn't saved

"backwpup_cfg_jobmaxexecutiontime" is not created in mysql database. Hence, when I change the value in Wordpress it isn't saved. It stays "0". I manually added "backwpup_cfg_jobmaxexecutiontime" to the database with a value of 400. No changes in the wP-backend are saved correctly.
