I installed the latest xcloner into Joomla, running on Win32, on my own server. Oddly enough, the first backup seemed to go fine, although it didn't seem to back up the database. Now, when I try to run a backup, it runs SLOW while it's adding file to the Tar, maybe 100K every 30 seconds. Eventually, it times out with errors (No surprise). I assumed it was because Tar seemed to be implemented in PHP, and despite running on a very fast computer, scripts seem slow sometimes on my server. Anyway, I figured plan B would be to download Tar for Win32, and put in the link to Tar. However, I haven't been able to get that to work. I haven't got the mysqldump path to work either. I suspected the exact path syntax might be a little different, since I'm running win32, so I played with it, with no results. I'd love to fix both of these problems (Slow PHP, Path to Tar), but any advice would be greatly appreciated!
There is not need to use the server utilies tar/mysaldump if they are not working, the php code should work anyway.
As for the slow backup process, did you enable the Backup Compress option? If so, try and disable it, it should fix the speed issue!
If you would like to use that option however, you need to set the Manual backup option to No.

Thanks, that worked. It still put everything in a Tar, I guess it just wasn't compressed. The first backup that worked wasn't compressed either (Nearly the same file size). It works, but hoping to polish it more. There's no progress bar (I'm guessing that's because of setting manual backup to no). Not a big deal, but if there's an easy way to bring it back...
Another non-important, but nice option would be to Zip instead of Tar. Could that be done easily by changing paths?
XCloner looks like a great program. Thanks!
