Hi, 

I am a newbie at this and I am trying to set up XCloner in my WP, but I am not sure where it goes wrong. I think my web hotel provider dissalow the following functions: disk_total_space, diskfreespace, exec, system, popen, proc_open, proc_nice, shell_exec, passthru, dl, set_time_limit, 5. parameter for mail() 

Is any of them required for XCloner to run properly? 

I have tried Local server, Remote ftp account and Email and can`t get them to work, but I guess if it is exec is not allowed then XCloner will not work?

See these screenshots:

 

Best regards,

/JR

Hi there! The use of the exec() function is only optional, XCloner can work without it, but i would advise in your case to leave the "Manual Backup" option set to Yes.

 

Also, before you will be able to generate a backup, you need to create this folder administrator/backups in your wordpress root directory, so the Temporary folder in your Info tab shows writeable.

 

Let me know if you have further issues! Ovidiu
