Hi,

Yes, I see some files created in the backup folder.

After changing it to normal mode, I see the db backup completed successfully. I also verified by checking the file in the backup directory.

 

Database backup:

LegalAssistanceDB: Backup Completed ( 4.66 MB )

Backup failed, please check your tar server utility support!

Not sure, but you might have a path issue, try switching the / from your Backup Start and Store path with \\

 

Let me know how it goes! Ovidiu

Weird, i am afraid i am out of ideas! If you can open a support ticket and send us the site access details, I will look further into debugging the code to see where the problem is.

I had a similar problem:

I have prepared a website in Joomla 3.1 in a localhost in my PC using XAMPP v3.2 and I want to transfer it (clonate it) in a Linux server online.

Xcloner was regularly installed in Joomla 3.1 but when I started the backup the error message:

Backup failed, please check your tar server utility support!

was displayed.    Is Xcloner not suitable in Joomla 3.1?

Have you any suggestions?

Thank you

Could you post some screenshots with your XCloner Config General tab and System tab? did you make any changes from the default config values?

I I am using a PC with windows 8, where are running XAMPP v3.2 and Joomla 3.1 for local development.

I have installed XCloner to transfer the built website to an internet host.

Download some screenshots here

No special setup was done

If you need more information, please notify me.

thanks

Settings look good, are there any files created in the administrator/backups directory ?

 

As a suggestion, try and replace the / separator from your Backup paths with \\ and see if it helps, so C:/xam2 will become C:\\xam2
