[Plugin: WP-InstantBackup] Backup Database Success, but result Blank

  • Hello,

    This is a simple great backup system. I like this.
    But after I try to do for backup mysql database.
    The proccess and report is OK, Backup has successfull.
    And also I have receive the file in my email and also in FTP account.

    But after I open, the file is Blank with 0 byte after I extract the Zip.
    I’m using password. I will try with no password if this can.

    Thank you!

  • I have the exact same problem. May it be related to the fact that the database server is not on the same host as the web server?

    Well… that was exactly the problem. It was easy to fix, though. Here’s a patch for subversion:

    // create database backup sql file and zip it up
         if($backupType=='db' || $backupType=='full'){
             // backup database
-            $backupCommand    = "mysqldump -u ".DB_USER." --password=".DB_PASSWORD." ".DB_NAME." > ".$dbBackupSQLFilepath; // credentials from Database.cfg.php
+            if (!defined('DB_HOST')) define('DB_HOST','localhost');
+            $backupCommand    = "mysqldump -u ".DB_USER." --password=".DB_PASSWORD." --host=".DB_HOST." ".DB_NAME." > ".$dbBackupSQLFilepath; // credentials from Database.cfg.php
             exec($backupCommand);
             // if the database backup file we just created doesnt exist, error out
             if(!file_exists($dbBackupSQLFilepath)){
