Greetings,
It looks like I'm going to love this com, but I have a question.
When trying to fill out my config, i keeps reverting to blank when I try to fill in the "Backup Start Path"
When I input my root directory D:/Hosting/xxxxxxx/html/ it reverts back to either just / or D://
which brings about the obvious errors of "/ incorrect or undreadable" and "\\administrator\backups incorrect or unreadable"
Hosted on a windows server if that makes any difference.
I've read the manual and the wiki, can't seem to find anything that covers this.
Any thoughts?
Hi Preston, the issue you have seems to be related to a php bug inside the realpath function, to fix this, please try and do this:
open the administrator/component/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/common.php and do a search and replace for realpath, replace it with empty, or space.
You need to re-save the config after, make sure you use proper windows paths like D:\\Hosting\\...
Hoper it helps! Ovidiu

Ok, so while attempting a restore on a different server,
I've uploaded the files indivudally using FTP in binary mode, and while trying to run XCloner.php, I get the following error,
Warning: fopen( (My server path)//configuration.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in MY SERVER PATH\XCloner.php on line 605
Unable to write to configuration file MY SERVER PATH//configuration.php... Aborting...
How did I screw the pooch now?
Is safe_mode turned Off on your new host? Also, make sure the restore directory is fully writeable, otherwise XCloner won't be able to restore any files, and check also the disk space available.
If it still fails, you could also restore the backup archive files manually and then restart the restore process with "skip files restore" option checked.
