for automatic backups check https://github.com/Nicola1971/AutoEvoBackup

Setup

1. Create directory named "_evobackup_archives" on your root webserver to hold modx .zip archives, and set read/write permissions to 777
2. Install EvoBackup with Package Manager or Extras module
3. Run EvoBackup module
4. Select additional folders and files to include in the archive
5. Click Backup, if it works there should be a .zip link containing your modx site.

Change Backup directory (not required)

1. Edit /assets/modules/evobackup/settings.php, and set $modx_backup_dir to backup dir in new directory
2. Set Module configuration > Backup Directory to your new backup dir

troubleshooting

1) module does not complete backup, stops with a temp file

Solution Remove some folders from backup or increase "ZIP memory limit" value in module configuration page

to do

• change backup folder path: avoid edit hardcoded path in settings.php

[idea] custom backup template

idea going to bed: custom backup template

requires a lot of additional fields in module configuration settings (something like evodashboard) but could be the default backup settings and solve issue #8

it's a nice last update: you can set your favourite setting in module config and have as default template in module backup.

in Italy we used to say: "la ciliegina sula torta" ("the Cherry on the cake")

Alert translation

Alerts requires translation strings

example:

issue if sitename contains commas

if sitename contains commas evobackup cant find sql to delete after zip

Default Backup type: Light or Medium?

Default Backup type: Light or Medium?

RC3: error and no db dump with medium and full site backup – Error : fread(): Length parameter must be greater than 0

When using medium backup or full site backup (each with "include db" checked) I get the following error:
"Error : fread(): Length parameter must be greater than 0" (see screenshot). The zip file with the desired folders is produced but no db included.
Light backup works as expected.
This happens on the live server and on my local machine.

Should option checkboxes (light, medium, full) be radio buttons?

At the moment it is possible to select two or all three options at once. Although I don't know how this is handled internally I would expect that if I choose one option that then the other two options are cleared. Wouldn't radio buttons be the better element to choose these options?

Explanation for moving archive folder outside document root necessary

I am fiddling around with trying to move the backup directory outside document root.
Whichever paths I enter in settings.php and modules configuration tab i don#t get it to work.

Maybe you could give some examples of which entries are to make where? Where is it necessary to place full/absolute path, and where relative to server document root?

In my case I would like to place _evobackup_archives inside "priv" folder two levels above document root. Is this possible? Which paths would be to enter at which places?

There are no folders assets/flash and assets/media and index-ajax.php in Evolution

That folders and file where removed in modern evo https://github.com/evolution-cms/evolution, and occures errors when they are choosen in module
