List of missing features

  • Hello,

    As a professional maintaining WordPress-based sites and a QNAP owner, this would be a perfect companion.

    Unfortunately, there are quite some things missing:

    • Must have: Option to exclude files from the backup, with a useful default list. Backups are currently very large → probably including cache, backups from other plugins…
    • Move this to “Tools” or somewhere else. There is no reason, that this has its own main menu
    • The ability to view and extract single files from the archive.
    • Anyway, a proprietary archive format (JSON? which is even more inefficient), not nice at all.
    • Also, the archive should be split in multiple files (DB, core, plugins, themes, uploads, others)
    • Security: The access key should be only shown/generated once and hashed with the WP salt. (Instead of a custom solution, why not use integrated users’ application passwords)

    Just tried to “migrate” a 50GB (which could be much smaller) backup to another server
    –> the NAS stopped responding because of out of memory (64?GB total)

    My QNAP TVS-473 also froze completely (!) several times during MARS (v1.0.3) restore of a broken WordPress site. I’m also missing the features Adrian mentions above. By the way, there’s no description on how to open .qwp-file manually. So my backups were absolutely worthless! ??
    Unfortunately, MARS is nowhere near a business product as QNAP states on https://www.qnap.com/go/solution/backup-and-restoration. Looking forward to more releases to bring the solution nearer what is needed.

    Regards, Fredrik Strange
