OCS/OJS Plugin: Backup

[asmecher]

This plugin allows Site Administrators to download backups of the database, files directory, and code.

Once the plugin is enabled, the Site Administrator may use the Site Administration interface to download the various components of the system for storage on a local system.

Author: Alec Smecher
Software: OCS
Versions: 2.1.2

[Note: this plugin is for OCS; there is a version ported to OJS posted later in the thread.]

Great Plugin. Thanks

[hekutoru2kx]

Does this plugin works for the OJS? or just the OCS?

HI hekutoru2kx,

I believe it has only been tested against OCS 2.1.2; it may work with OJS, but it may need to be tweaked, I really don't know.

Cheers,
James

Thx James...

Is there a plugin to backup OJS?

[jmacgreg]

Hi hekutoru2kx,

We haven't ported this one over ourselves, I don't think. We may do so in the future, priorities depending; you can always give it a shot yourself, and we're more than happy to help with any questions you might have.

Cheers,
James

Thx james ...

I'll look to do it manually then ... I already do it actually, but I'm checking if there is any problem ...

Keep with the hard work

Hi all,

Here is a version of the plugin adapted to work with OJS.

I installed the Backup plugin in OJS /plugins/generic, I can enable it in the Plugins management page, but can't find anything related to this plugin in the Site Administration. Do I need to set any special file/directory permissions for the backup plugin to work?

Please, is it possible to apply this Plugin:Backup on OCS 2.3.3-1 ?

Hello all,

We are testing this plugin but it is producing the following error, after installation and adding the appropriate [backup] section in config.inc.php.

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Locale::requirecomponents() in plugins/generic/backup/BackupPlugin.inc.php on line 68

Line 68 states:

Code: Select all

 Locale::requireComponents(array(LOCALE_COMPONENT_PKP_ADMIN));

There is a similar call to requireComponents in the PayPal Plugin, if memory serves.

The interesting thing is that the error is outputting the "function" call in lowercase letters.

It seems there is something wrong with the server/php configuration, am I correct?

Hi all,

Note that the backup plugin has been added to our source code repository and will be released as part of OJS 2.4.2 (and OCS probably at the 3.0 release). If you want to use it before then, I recommend getting it from our git repository -- here for OJS and here for OCS.
