Hello,

First, thank you for such a great module. This should be a standard feature it's such a great module.

I just upgraded from 6.x-2.4 to v2.5, and "Backup and Migrate" no longer appears under "Content management", and if I try to access admin/content/backup_migrate, it just loads the same screen as if I was at admin/content

The module is installed and activated (it appears in my module list and is checked), and it appears under my admin/reports/updates as "Up to date", it just doesn't seem to be anywhere?

Thanks for the help!
BigMike

Can you try to clear your cache (admin >> settings >> performance or using devel/drush) and report back?

Cache's cleared, no difference.

I removed the v2.5 files and replaced my v2.4 files, which did not restore the menu.

I also ran update.php for v2004, which resulted in an error.

So I replaced the v2.5 files and am waiting for a solution to this...

EDIT: After replacing the v2.5 files, I figured it wouldn't hurt to run the update again, and this time I had the option for v2006, which I did, and got the following:

The following queries were executed
backup_migrate module
Update #2006

    ALTER TABLE {backup_migrate_profiles} CHANGE `filename` `filename` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL

However, still cannot access the module anywhere.

Very strange. It almost sounds like corrupted files or multiple versions of the module (e.g. one in sites/all/modules and a different version in sites/default/modules). Try disabling the module and then uninstalling it. Delete the module folder from the server and then visit the modules page again & see if it's still listed. If it is, hunt until you find that other location and remove it.
If it isn't still listed, get a fresh 6.x-2.5 and start from there.

Overall, though, my hunch is that this is something particular / peculiar like the above as the usage statistics show about 5,000 people on 6.x-2.5 and this is the only report like this.

( the link was visible under admin/build/menu-customize/navigation)

Is the enabled box checked?

Reopen this if it's still an issue in the latest version.

I know this is very old but I want to post an update.

I have not been updating my module because *embarrassingly so* I forgot I had gotten it to work (my original issue). Today I decided to just update from 2.5 to 2.8 -- thinking I was still experiencing the issue -- and the process went smooth so I came here, searched for this thread to share the good news and then I realized I had already resolved it. LOL

Anyway, I'm here so I'd still like to say that everything is working great and THANK YOU everyone for your EXCELLENT work on this module, I like it very much!

Regards,
BigMike

EDIT: After posting the above I saw ronan's last post and I'd like to confirm that 2.8 is working great for me!
