Access Right: Pre Check before first backup? [#515582]

We would like this module to be compatible with SuperCron or direct script methods (which favours a Cron call through php so as to get the shortest -- and least error-prone -- call chain possible). We would like to implement a feature to make sure that all of the access rights required during a full back-up process are available; any failure would be shown as a warning in the module admin panel, and would stop a backup with the proper warnings when called in CLI mode.

The latest dev should be logging any permissions issues it encounters during backup, but if you're finding a case where it is failing without useful errors being logged, let me know how to reproduce them and I'll take a look.

Thanks

I'm gonna close this since I haven't heard back. Re-open if the latest dev's not doing enough to log permission issues.

Hey Ronan,

Sorry for the delay; I was away. What I have in mind is a quick check that will run through the basics in test mode (create and access a file in a given directory, for example) so that issues can be identified and fixed prior to the first run rather than in a reactive way. Would this make sense to you ?

(not sure this is the right status, but it sounds like a good way to mark something as not-yet-decided-upon)

Title:

Access Rights Sanity Checks

» Access Right: Pre Check before first backup?

I suspect that this check does need to happen on a real backup - there are so many possible server platforms and configurations out there that the real proof of being able to backup is actually being able to backup. Leaving it postponed for now, however.
