DB Maintenance Module: How to simply backup all Drupal-Files
adam1 - June 12, 2009 - 15:39
Hello Forum,
in the README of DB Maintenance Module there is no hint how to simply backup all drupal-files (the files og the whole drupal-installation).
Is ist triggered/controlled via php-scripting?
I have no Idea!
Best Regards,
Adam

the db_maintenance module is triggered by cron.php, thus you need a cron job or you run cron.php manually from your browser
file backups are set up from the administer -> db maintenance settings screen I believe.
Backups in DB Maintenance???
I've read several threads about using DB Maintenance to backup files. But it seems to be only about database optimization. Am I missing something?
I'm looking for a module that will backup tables AND files at the same time. Any suggestions?
I've been using Backup and Migrate for just tables - and read about Backup Files, but wasn't sure I wanted to install the PEAR module it mentioned (not sure I could even do that on my host since I don't have control over that - it being a host provider).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Just..
..use phpmyadmin ..easy!

DB Maintenance is for optimizing the database not backuping up the database, so you aren't missing anything.
I'd like to read these threads you mention that state the opposite. Very well could just be come confusion in module name.
I sorted out the confusion...
...it seems that the latest (beta) version is the one that supports backups as well as optimization. I usually shy away from betas, so I had downloaded the latest stable version - which doesn't have that feature.
Thanks for the reply.
