Wordpress v 3.1, XCloner v 3.0.1

I have XCloner setup to transfer my backup to an FTP server under the "FTP Store Mode Details section". I have also selected the option to "Delete backup after transfer". My problem is that after it copies the tar to the FTP server the file is NOT deleted.

 

Has anyone else experienced this or have any feedback?

 

Thanks for your time.

Did you check your cron log output to see if you get any message saying "Backup succesfully deleted from the original server" ?

 

Can you post a screenshot with your settings? if you are using a separate cron config, make sure you re-update the changes to it as well.

Hi,

 

Firstly, thanks for a great tool! It's excellent.

 

I am testing using XCloner 3.1 as a standalone to backup sites on my VPS to Amazon S3 and I have things working fine so far as a cron job. However, I'd like the locally generated backup file to be deleted after it's been sent to Amazon S3. The only section that has this facility it FTP transfer - I did try 'switching on 'Delete backup after transfer' in this area, but with no success. The email log, not surprisingly, gives an error about not finding any FTP details.

 

Is it possible to delete the local backup after transfer when using Amazon S3?

 

Thanks in advance.

Try and fix the ftp error first or disable that option, the delete backup process step is right after that...
