Delete backups from trash…

Hi Laurent, please install the development version from here https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/xcloner-backup-and-restore.zip , i have added an option called “Automatically Empty Google Drive Trash” in the XCloner Remote Storage->Google Drive Tab which, if active, will empty all the google drive trash, please note, this will delete non-backup files as well.

The emptyTrash call is made when verifying the google drive connection or when uploading a backup to it.

Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Liuta,
Thanks for this quick reply !

This works fine for me as i am using Google drive account only to put my Xcloner backup in it…
This new version does the job well. I could check that trashcan is cleaned on verify connection.

Thanks for this update.

However, my use of Google Drive account is certainly not the use case of everyone.

So I think that cleaning only backup files would please a lot more of users.

I have checked Google drive library used in Xcloner Google Drive plugin and found out that GoogleDriveAdapter->delete() function is only updating setTrashed to true to delete file :
File: xcloner-google-drive\vendor\nao-pon\flysystem-google-drive\src\GoogleDriveAdapter.php
278: $file->setTrashed(true);
280: if ($this->service->files->update($id, $file, $opts)) {

Solution should be to add a new method (deleteNoTrash) using $this->service->files->delete() which delete file without trashing it.
This new method should be called only if option ‘Really delete backups (no trashing)’ is checked…

I hope that makes sens…

Anyway, thanks for this new version which avoid me to delete trashcans manually.

Kind regards

Laurent

You are right. I have made an update to the xcloner-google-drive plugin, version 1.0.2, please update that version and also reinstall XCloner latest development release. Let me know if you encounter any issues

It works well !

Backups are deleted from original folder and are not in trashcan anymore with ‘Keeps Deleted Backups in Trash’ disabled.

Thanks again for this fast fix.
I mark this subject resolved.
