Hello -

I'm having trouble getting Backup and Migrate to work with my Drupal 7 setup. I've used it before with Drupal 6 and had no problems.

I have a local version of Drupal 7 that I backed-up and am trying to restore to a hosted site (hosted with Green Geeks). The backup works no problem and the restore says it was successful on the hosted site. No error messages.

I've cleared the cache multiple times, but do not see any of the block or page updates from my backup file.

I'm using the default Drupal 7 configuration.

I appreciate any help with this issue.

Regards...

I am also having the same issue. Furthermore, I can see that the table data looks good, nodes, menu, content types, users - all there, yet none show on site.

Having the same issue...

I am NOT excluding any tables under the advanced options. When I backup from the server and restore on my local, it says it was complete. But none of the pages/views/articles/menus I've created show up on my local version.

If you look at the backup file itself (in a text editor) does it have the right content in it? Does it work when you restore with phpMyAdmin or using the mysql command line?

I read one comment to take site offline and clear cache, done accordingly and backup done.

I had some backup issues with Drupal 7 also. What I found helpful was a workaround that restored the MySQL data in a precise way without relying on phpMyadmin. Apart from backing up my site on my computer (by running it with Acquia Drupal) I have been using Navicat, a commercial product that copies a MySQL database exactly to and from a server. It means you have to pay for the program but it works almost flawless and the site will run as before.

BTW no conflict of interest here.
