Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Hi there,
Just installed and enabled the module (also changed permissions to allow admin full rights) but I cannot see it in Admin->Structure...how can I use the module then? is there something else to tune up?
Regards,
Alex

davnguyen CreditAttribution: davnguyen commentedExactly the same issue. Can't see the menu under /admin/config/system/backup_migrate either.
Comment #3
Guillermo Ramon CreditAttribution: Guillermo Ramon commentedI installed Backup and Migrate and did not see any menu. Then, I went to "Help" and there were menus there.
Comment #4
firstlut CreditAttribution: firstlut commentedI'm using 7.x-2.1, but I'm having the same problem. Since I'm monkeying around with Drush, I can give you the error message I got:
Hope this helps. Of course, this is all from my Mac using MAMP, so it could be something bone-headed that I've done.

palllas CreditAttribution: palllas commentedHi, just clear the cache.
Comment #6
holtzermann17 CreditAttribution: holtzermann17 commentedWorks for me via admin/config/system/backup_migrate
Comment #7
wilgrace CreditAttribution: wilgrace commentedAlso getting the same problem -clean install, doesn't appear in the menu and I can't access via
admin/config/system/backup_migrate
Comment #8
rolfmeijer CreditAttribution: rolfmeijer commentedSame here, but I got it fixed by going to /admin/config/system/backup_migrate (which doesn’t exsist, so it shows the content of /admin/config/system).
THEN I cleared caches, and the bam page was there and the menu item too.
Comment #9
wmdickson CreditAttribution: wmdickson commentedSame issue here. I tried all of the above with no luck. PHP error log is empty.
EDIT: The issue I was having is with the latest RELEASE version. The latest dev version (which appears to be earlier than the latest release, however) works fine.

henrikakselsen CreditAttribution: henrikakselsen commentedSame issue, unfortunately neither #8 og #9 works for me. I've tried this on a fresh install and a dev site, both localhost. Will report back after more testing.
Comment #11
mechdog CreditAttribution: mechdog commentedI'm having the same issue. I have tried the suggestions here and the menu still doesn't appear
Comment #12
abraxas1 CreditAttribution: abraxas1 commentedsame here. Drupal7, shared hosting, 7.x-2.x-dev.
i had the same behaviour with another module and it was a module conflict issue. can't figure out what other module i have installed might be doing this. getting annoying though. :-)
Comment #13
xmichaelyx CreditAttribution: xmichaelyx commentedSame issue. I solved it by going to /admin/config/system/backup_migrate. Needs to be a better way, though.
Comment #14
Rory CreditAttribution: Rory commentedI was encountering this issue with 7.x-2.2. Tried everything but finally (and I do mean finally) solved the problem by restarting the server.
Seems quite random due to the results observed by others. For me, I might put it down to my hardware, Mac OSX or the MAMP environment. I noticed things were quite slow at the time this issue was occuring and this was fixed also by the restart.
Comment #15
Rory CreditAttribution: Rory commentedSeems like this could be a Mac / MAMP issue? Anyone with the same issue elsewhere?
Comment #16
HyperGlide CreditAttribution: HyperGlide commented@ rory -- same issue on my Mac / MAMP stack
Comment #17
Rory CreditAttribution: Rory commentedDue to enabling via Drush it seems. Occuring in both the 7.x-2.2 and 7.x-2.x-dev branches.
I get the error every time unless I enable Backup and Migrate via the module list.
Comment #18
chen.730 CreditAttribution: chen.730 commentedI randomly ran into the set permission section at admin/user/permissions, and checked the boxes uder backup_migrate module. Then the menu showed up for me.
Comment #19
Rory CreditAttribution: Rory commented@chen.730 - were you using user id 1 at the time?
When I experienced this I was logged in as user id 1.
Comment #20
sonicthoughts CreditAttribution: sonicthoughts commentedsame issue with version 2.4 after enable with drush. not just a menu issue - there is no way to get to config. After clear cache it was available.
Comment #21
senortim CreditAttribution: senortim commentedNone of these solutions are working for me on my Mac/MAMP local install of D7.
I've even re-installed Backup & Migrate by hand (rather than Drush dl) but no luck there either.
The same codebase is running on my Test server, however. And there, B & M is working just fine. (I used the techniques above successfully on that instance of D7.)
Any other ideas??
Comment #22
senortim CreditAttribution: senortim commentedFor what it's worth, I ultimately got it working locally by creating a new database and importing the SQL file generated by B&M from my Test server (which suggests to me that its not MAMP, but rather something in the database, perhaps by Drush??)
Comment #23
ronan CreditAttribution: ronan commentedIs everybody having this issue enabling with Drush?
Is everybody seeing the following error:
Cannot redeclare class backup_migrate_destination_db
Do you guys happen to have a copy of B&M in sites/default as well as one in sites/all? I seem to recall some versions of Drush have an issue when there are multiple copies of a module installed.
Comment #24
tdi_dk CreditAttribution: tdi_dk commentedI experienced this very same problem, when I was trying to install and use the module.
I did not use Drush, but still had the problem.
I tried clearing the cache without it working. Next I tried to totally reset my browser, as I thought this might help, but still no luck.
The weird thing is, that I then tried to login using Firefox instead of Safari, and still it wasn't there. But when I emptied the cash logged in to Firefox, it showed up.
And now if I login with Safari, I can see it.
Don't know what has happened, but now it works. So thought I would mention this, if it might help anybody else.

Comment #26
kwerey CreditAttribution: kwerey commentedI got a new version of the Ronan got in this old thread, and since this old thread showed up at the top of results when I googled around for the problem I'll post my findings.
I got a DatabaseSchemaObjectExistsException error when I tried to install, and when I loaded the modules page against Backup & Migrate was listed as enabled but none of its config options were visible. Turns out Backup & Migrate creates four tables in your database on install: backup_migrate_destinations, backup_migrate_profiles, backup_migrate schedules and backup_migrate_sources. It does not remove any of these when you disable and remove it. Deleting them manually (Operations > DROP table in PHPmyAdmin), clearing the cache, and reinstalling fixed the problem right up for me.
Comment #27
couturier CreditAttribution: couturier as a volunteer commentedIt is quite possible the newer versions of both Drupal and Backup and Migrate will have resolved this issue, but I am closing due to non-response from the issue reporters.
