This page is a cut-down version of the regular "Administer Backup Files" page and it is only available when the Easy Mode is active.
It is the single place where you can review your JoomlaPack backup history, as well as administer the backup files. The bulk of the page consists of a standard Joomla! list table. Each row represents a backup attempt and displays a whole lot of information:
- The check box column
Clicking the check box on the leftmost cell of a row selects this backup for an operation to be applied to it. Operations are activated by clicking on tool bar buttons. In case of an operation allowing a single row to be selected, the topmost selected row is considered as the sole selection.
- Start
The date when the backup started. The date is expressed in the user's preferred time zone, as it is set in the User Managment page of Joomla! itself.
![[Note]](/images/stories/docimport58/note.png)
Note JoomlaPack 2.1.b1 and earlier always expressed dates in UTC (GMT+0) timezone. This was considered inconvenient and has, therefore, changed.
- Status
Indicates the status of the backup and can be one of:
- OK
A complete backup whose backup archive is available for download.
- Obsolete
A complete backup whose backup archive is either deleted, or was overwritten by another backup attempt.
Note If you move your backup output directory's location, all your previous backups will appear as "Obsolete", even though you might have moved these backup files as well. This is not a bug. JoomlaPack internally stores the absolute path to the backup files. When you move the output directory its absolute path changes, so JoomlaPack is unable to locate the old backup files.
- Pending
A backup attempt which is still running. You should not see any such record, unless a backup attempt started while you were loading this page. In this case, you should not navigate to the Control Panel page! Doing so would invalidate the backup and wreck havoc. You have been warned! Another reason to see such an entry is a backup attempt which failed with a PHP fatal error, or which was abruptly interrupted (by the user or a PHP error). In this case, you can safely delete the entry and get rid of the backup file as well.
- Failed
A backup attempt which failed with a catchable error condition.
- Size
Indicates the backup archive's size.
- Archive
Displays the name of the backup file, if it is available.
On the top of the page you can find a tool bar with operations buttons. The Delete button will remove the selected backup attempt entries along with their backup archives (if applicable). The Download button will download the archive file of the currently selected backup row.
