  About this resource

  

  
  

  This addon uses a lot of third party vendor packages and it can be hard to work out compatibility.
  As of now, if you want to use this package with XF2.3, you must be running PHP8.
  If you want to run this package using a previous version of XF, you must be using PHP7.

  Back by popular demand, is my backup system. I wasn't planning on releasing this one, but a lot of people asked me for it, since there weren't any other solutions for XF2. This addon will run a scheduled backup of your XenForo database.
  
  Before you buy this addon however, you must be aware of a few requirements. This addon uses PHP's exec command to run MySQL's mysqldump command. If you're running off a shared hosting service, you may not have access to these powerful tools and be unable to use this addon.
  
  Basic Features:
  

  • Automated XenForo database and file structure backup.
  • Ability to close forums during the backups process.
  • Define mysqldump and tar custom option flags.
  • Separate backups into multiple files or a single package.
  • Compress backups using Gzip, Bzip2 or Xz.
  • Upload backups directly to Amazon S3, BackBlaze or Dropbox.
  • Backup history and logs viewable from the Admin CP.
