Backup failed

    Hi Support,

    FastDup: Website live on server. Backup started but without success. The circle spins on the database. Infinity. No notice whatsoever. To no avail. Deactivated.

    I tried the following plugins (JUST TO EXPLAIN how FastDup should work):

    Total Upkeep: Backup failed. The plugin reports an error but cannot detect which error it is. The user does not know what to do next. Deactivated and deleted.

    Backup Migrate: Backup succeeded. I followed the instructions (from support forum) for the restricted server settings, as a precaution. The plugin is fine but I don’t like the way it works. The result is that there is no “standalone installation” (no installer.php and archive.zip). Restore and migrate work in such a way that it is first necessary to install WordPress on the destination address. Then the plugin is installed and the backup is loaded through it. Big waste of time.

    Duplicator: Settings > SQL Mode: Mysqldump, Archive Engine: ZipArchive. Backup started. It reports an error and requests that the SQL Mode be switched to PHP Code (Runtime error in DUP_Database::Build. Shell mysql dump error. Change SQL Mode to the “PHP Code” in the Duplicator > Settings > Packages.). Restarted backup. Completely successful.

    My idea for FastDup:

    1. FastDup should not be the fastest plugin but the SIMPLEST and MOST RELIABLE plugin.
    2. Dialogues and warnings are missing here (only to the extent that it is necessary).
    3. There are no settings. Maybe they should exist or FastDup should work by default with restricted server settings. The plugin should work on all servers. For example: With System ZIP and PHP Mode, FastDup will work on all servers. MySQL dump will not work on all servers. Mysqli extension is present in PHP v8.1, but in PHP version 8.2 it is no longer there. Support for 8.1 ends at the end of the year. The database should be downloaded in the style of a complete file or broken into tables. The database is the smallest segment in the archive, and here it is not speed that is needed, but verification, reliability and security. It doesn’t matter if it lasts 10 or 120 seconds.
    4. ZIP should not be done by brute force. The servers will not allow this. This should be done in chunks of acceptable size (times). Chunk, pause, chunk, pause, … This way the plugin will work on all servers.

    I hope you will consider these ideas and after a few updates FastDup will become the easiest and most reliable backup/clone/migrate plugin. Thanks in advance.

    Have a nice day. Regards,

    Hi @vipteam ,

    As our dev team are trying to check and fix the issue, so we can have a general update.

    We have a question;
    Is your website connecting to a database host with non-3306 port?

    Because, by default, mysql database uses 3306-port, but some websites use another port, 3307 for example.

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,
    Bruce

    Hi @ninjateamwp ,

    On the website on localhost with XAMPP I use (default) port 3306. For a live server, I’m not sure. I’m using the default, I haven’t changed anything. How can I check the port?

    Thanks in advance. Regards,

    mysqli.default_port: 3306
