Why is this plugin being retired? While this plugin works well for backups, it was originally intended to be for use on DreamPress (the managed WordPress hosting service from DreamHost). Since that service has much better backups, it's no longer necessary to use a plugin. What alternatives are there to this plugin? In no particular order:
What does it do? DreamObjects Backups connects your WordPress site to your DreamObjects cloud storage, allowing you to automatically store backups of your content. Do you work for DreamHost? Yes, but this isn't an official DreamHost plugin at this time. It just works. Do I have to host my website on DreamHost? No, but using it anywhere else is unsupported. You have to use DreamObjects, which belongs to DreamHost. This plugin was built on and specifically for DreamHost servers, so I can give you no assurance it'll work on other hosts. BotoRsync, for example, and WP-CLI are installed on DreamHost servers. I can't vouch for any others. I haven't tested this at all on Windows. Can I use this on Multisite? Multisite is not supported. What does it backup? Your database and yourwp-content
folder. It also attempts to backup your .htaccess
and wp-config.php
files if it can be sure it's found them.
How big a site can this back up?
PHP has a hard limit of 2G (see Why can't I upload or download files greater than 2GB?). Sorry.
Why does my backup run but not back anything up?
Your backup may be too big for your server to handle. A quick way to test if this is happening still is by trying to only backup the SQL. If that works, then it's the size of your total backup.
Wait, you said it could back up 2G! What gives?
There are a few things at play here:
/wp-content/upgrade/RANDOM-dreamobjects-backup.sql
Why there? Security. It's a safer spot, though safest would be a non-web-accessible folder. Maybe in the future. Keeping it there makes it easy for the plugin to delete.
How often can I schedule backups?
You can schedule them daily, weekly, or monthly.
Can I force a backup to run now?
Yep! It actually sets it to run in 60 seconds, but works out the same.
I disabled wp-cron
. Will this work?
Yes, provided you still call cron via a grownup cron job (i.e. curl http://domain.com/wp-cron.php
or something similar). That will call your regular backups. ASAP backup, however, will need you to manually visit the cron page.
How long does it keep backups?
Since you get charged on space used for DreamObjects, the default is to retain the last 5 backups. If you need more history you can save all your backups.
Can I keep them forever?
If you chose 'all' then yes, however this is not recommended. DreamObjects (like most S3/cloud platforms) charges you based on space and bandwidth, so if you have a large amount of files stored, you will be charged more money.
How do I use the CLI?
If you have wp-cli installed on your server (which DreamHost servers do), you can use the following commands:
wp dreamobjects backup
wp dreamobjects reset log
wp dreamobjects reset settings
The 'backup' command runs an immediate backup, while the reset
command wipes either the log or the settings.
Can I see a log of what happens?
You can enable logging on the main DreamObjects screen. This is intended to be temporary (i.e. for debugging weird issues) rather than something you leave on forever. If you turn off logging, the log wipes itself for your protection.
The automated backup is set to run at 3am but it didn't run till 8am!
That's not an error. WordPress kicks off cron jobs when someone visits your site, so if no one visited the site from 3am to 8am, then the job to backup wouldn't run until then.
Why is nothing happening when I press the backup ASAP button?
First turn on logging, then run it again. If it gives output, then it's running, so read the log to see what the error is. If it just 'stops', it should have suggestions as to why.
You can also log in via SSH and run wp dreamobjects backup
to see if that works.
