I am trying to use xcloner to migrate data between test sites via AWS S3 bucket and only having partial success.

site1.example.com
WP install: /var/www/html/wordpress

site2.example.com
WP install: /var/www/html

These are AWS hosted test sites and have their own individual RDS databases.

1) Installed xcloner plugin and enabled S3 bucket connectivity on both sites
2) Generate full backup (excluding wp-config.php) on site 1 and upload to S3 bucket
[wp-config.php is excluded as these sites are created using Cloudformation templates meaning the wp-config.php file is dynamically generated including the DB connection and SALT values etc so you don’t want to overwrite it]
3) Download backup from S3 bucket to site2 locally
4) Proceed with “Only wp-content” restore to target path /var/www/html
5) It appears to be complete – “Done restoring backup-2017-10-25_23-28-793e3.tgz.” appears above the files processed log. The available buttons are showing as < RESTORE and SKIP NEXT >
6) RESTORE re-runs the restore by the looks of it and SKIP NEXT moves on to the next section “Target Mysql Details”
7) I can set the source and target URL, however the “Please Select the target database backup file to restore” drop down box is empty with nothing to select…

What have I missed?

If I download and extract the .tgz archive I can find a “database-backup.sql” inside the /xcloner-6f96a/ folder so it appears to be there.

If I go back and run the Database only restore, it seems to work and the box is populated as expected. However when I run the find and replace step for source:site1 target:site2 it works for about 30-60 seconds then displays “Lost connection with the API, please try and authentificate again”

After this the site appears to be dead, all pages just load blank white with no content.

Hi!

I was doing a couple of tests with the plugin, and I just found something odd.

I’ve been trying this doing a local restore, generating a backup making some changes, then restoring and it worked out great except when i tried to do a database restore.

The process finishes successfully, but it doesn’t make any changes to the database. The file database-backup.sql from the backup is created correctly (I ran it manually). As I can’t see any errors I can’t see why it isn’t executing the restore.

If there’s anything anyone can think of, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I just wanted to check whether I’d overlooked something in the plugin – is it possible to have multiple remote storage settings in a scheduled job or do I need to set up two sheduled backups instead?

As I only keep one backup on the server itself then this isn’t a huge issue for me (I.E. the second backup would simply overwrite the first local backup) but just wondered if I’d missed an option.

Thanks,
Steve.

I have xcloner backing up many sites to my Backblaze B2 storage and it works great on all instances – Thanks for a great plugin!

However, when using the Manage backups page to view the available backups, if I switch to view the back blaze remote storage backups the page reloads and just displays the word ‘read’.

This happens on several, but not all of my installations. I’ve double checked my back blaze settings, and they’re all correct – and the actual backups work and arrive in the remote storage, so the connection must be good.

Here’s a little screencast: https://screencast.com/t/4dUzBX3m6l1W

Any ideas what I could do to solve this?

Thanks,
Ben.

Hello,
I just build a new site. I build it on another online server. I changed my hosts file to view and edit the page. Now i need to restore the whole website to de live server.

With the old xcloner it sends the backup files through the ftp, then i changed the hosts file, went to the live site and run the restore.

Now i first have to connect to de ‘live’ site (which isn’t available because of the hosts file). How do i send the files to the live site? And i don’t want to use ftp, because that process is so slow..
Thank you
Jeroen

On one website I’m testing on, the plugin is unable to verify connection.
In the debug log there is this (edited website link details and not including other plugin error logs):

Hi,

I have the “Delete Backup After Sending it to Remote Storage” option ticked, however none of my local backups are removed after sending to Backblaze B2 remote storage. Is there something I can do to make this option work?

THanks,

I have literally THOUSANDS (57,839 actually) of folders called “.xcloner-xxxxx” in my tmp directory. Each one of those folders contains an equivalent “xcloner-xxxxx.log” file.

Most of those log files contain the following line :
[2018-01-23 01:03:36] php_system.INFO: E_NOTICE: array ( ‘type’ => 8, ‘message’ => ‘Undefined index: HTTPS’, ‘file’ => ‘/srv/users/serverpilot/apps/xxxxx/public/wp-config.php’, ‘line’ => 21, ) [] []

Some contain an entire log of an xcloner run.

Running xcloner 4.0.6
Any idea as to why I’d have literally so many, and why xcloner is not cleaning these up?

Hello, Liuta!
Thank you for Xcloner plugin, it’s really nice and usable solution for backups.
I’ve got a problem on one site with the cron and the backups proccess. Backup starts, but interrupts with a error:
/bin/sh: line 1: 872110 Killed /usr/bin/php5.6 -f wp-cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
So, as i understand, all backups that are made with this error, are not full and don’t include all files of the site. I assume, it’s rather not a problem of xcloner, but something goes wrong with the server (other sites backups on this server are ok, no errors). What problem can be with the server and xcloner?
Second question – can i use standalone xcloner version for Joomla backups? is it still maintained (last commit was three years ago, as i can see in repository)?
xcloner component for Joomla seems outdated…

Hi,

I’ve got the most updated version of WordPress and Xcloner.

When I’m attempting to generate a backup Xcloners hangs and then returns a “Communication ErrorResponse Code: 404 Not Found” at Adding files to Archive > wp-admin/js/media.js
When I search through my files, there’s no such file. I’ve tried deleting and then reinstalling Xcloner but that doesn’t seem to help.

If I exclude the wp-admin folder then it hangs and gives me the 404 error at wp-includes/js/mediaelement/mediaelement-migrate.min.js (1.17 KB)

Thanks in advance! (And thanks for the great plugin. I’ve been using it for years with different websites.)

Hi, I have set backup once hourly to gdrive, it is shown on “Scheduled Backups” table like executed, but is not working – no backup. I have tried to run wp_cron from “easycron” because my hosting not support cron, but without succes.. Is there a way to run backup by some url with “easycron” using?

Manual backup works well, sending to gdrive too..

This is the message:

[ SNIP! ]

If someone knows what is due, I would be very grateful to get help.

Hi Liuta !

This is a great plugin, congratulations. I Really appreciate the fact that you can choose what database tables / files to back up !

But for me the scheduled backups with Google Drive do not run properly. Sometimes for an unknown reason they do, but it’s very rare and I have no idea why.

I tried triggering the cron by entering mywebsite.com/wp-cron.php in my browser but it doesn’t trigger the scheduled backups.

The system check is all green, and the only things in the Xcloner logs are the following :
