Backup Plugin Error

    Hi there,

    First of all, I’d just like to say thanks to the developer for this module – it has the potential to be such an excellent addition to any WordPress blog.

    I’m experiencing a couple of problems with the module though.

    First of all – the backup isn’t getting transfered to my Google Drive (I’ve tried this on 3 of my blogs – and all with the same outcome):

    2012-05-20 14:36:26 NOTICE Attempting to upload archive to Google Drive
    2012-05-20 14:36:26 ERROR Failed to upload archive to Google Drive!

    Secondly, now that I have the maximum backups created (I’ve set this to be 3, I’m also getting another error:

    2012-05-20 14:36:40 NOTICE Attempting to create archive /home/theblogg/public_html/leestewie/wp-content/backup/1337524600.zip
    2012-05-20 14:36:47 ERROR There was a problem creating the zip file! /home/theblogg/public_html/leestewie/wp-content/plugins/backup/backup.php 290

    Thirdly, the frequencies appear to be incorrect. For example, I select ‘Monthly’ to be ‘When to Backup’ and for some reason the next Backup is going to be December?

    Any ideas?

    As I say, this is going to be a brilliant plugin – just seems there’s a couple of issues to still be ironed out (unless I’m being really thick – then I apologise!)

    Cheers,

    Lee

    Further to Bharath Mandava’s comments at the top of this thread regarding the article he has written on creating a Google API.

    This article is a very helpful walk-through for a non-techie like me apart from one mysterious part – where he says to paste in ‘the url from the backup settings page’ into the google settings when creating a Client ID.

    I pasted in various urls and settings from the info on that page, all to no avail until eventually I wrote down the url he uses in the example (as it cannot be copied/pasted) and typed that in.

    It worked perfectly (after changing his website’s name for mine of course) and it was only afterwards that I realised he meant the ACTUAL ADDRESS of the settings page.

    Just thought I’d point this out in case anyone else is as stupid as me! Just waiting for my first backup now, thanks ??
