Topic: Backup

Hi

I am having problem backing up database in Google chrome. It sometimes works in internet explorer. This is happening on all versions from 2.3.15 to 2.3.18. Is there a bug?

Re: Backup

The browser has nothing to do with it. But the backup script's execution time does depend on the database size, so I suspect it's a timeout issue. In your case, you've probably happened to use IE at times when the server load has been lower.

I don't know why it was implemented this way, but yes... I would say it qualifies as a bug. The workaround is to do a database dump using mysqldump from the command line or from phpmyadmin.

Re: Backup

The only changes done to the admin/backups.php file was in v2.3.15 (made the error string translatable)  and then earlier in v2.3.6.

Scrutinize the file change diffs from the Official Git repo for the said file and see if it affects your browser in any way - very little or no chance at all.
