New dependency for Azure Blob Storage

I noticed the HTTP_Request2 PEAR package is included with the plugin, but not properly added to the include_path.

I added this line below the current set_include_path statement in plugins/backwpup/inc/class-destination-msazure.php and it fixed the issue:
set_include_path( get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . __DIR__ . '/../sdk/PEAR/');

Hope you can fix this in the next release.

File backup to Azure doesn’t seem to work when the backup takes a long time.

When I do a small backup (only the DB) the transfer to MS Azure is fine.

I haven’t had this problem with the 2.x version of BackWPup. Hope you can fix this.

OK, th path i have changed.

for the other problem i must find a wahy to get a wreit callback on upload. I will lok waht can do.

Same exact problem for me using 3.06. I also tested with smaller job and it works fine. 2.17 was working fine just 2 days ago. I may just revert to that.

Daniel, for the record, my backup job is working to create the archive file locally. I watch that happen in realtime via FTP. But then when WPbackup reaches the point of contacting Azure, it seems to hang for quite a while making the upload (not that big, just over 10mb. The entire process takes about 8 minutes. The archive file is completed in about 6 mins.

Not sure if this helps, but the end of the backup log gives this output:
