Using all most current versions.
WHen JPR is scheduled to run, it does as stated in the docs. However, if I close JPR and reopen it, it starts the backup process again. Is there no flag to tell it that it has already done todays backup? Please advise. Thanks!

Also, I tried running JPR as a service on WinXP Pro... no luck. Will welcome the task scheduler feature.

Nicholas is going to have to answer that one. I thought it was because I wasn't running JPRemote all the time. :?

Normally, it shouldn't do that. The whole idea is that the last backup date and time is recorded in the SQLite database, so that the scheduling can work properly. Trying to re-produce your problem didn't work for me. When it automatically starts up to backup, do you let the backup finish, cancel it or does it fail?

Please also note that unless the first backup, which normally runs immediately after creating a new site entry, doesn't complete, this "problem" will happen. If you haven't let it run this first backup it will "insist" on every run, unless it either runs successfully, or you manually cancel it.

I have two backups scheduled: 1 for databases; 1 for whole site. Database backup runs and downloads most of the time. Whole site backup stops with an FTP transport error, or sometimes doesn't start because of an xml-rpc call error, CUBE doesn't initialize. This is not fun anymore!

If the profile for the full backup is not profile #1, this - certainly not fun at all - problem might be related with a bug I am trying to resolve concerning JoomlaPack don't "remembering" the selected profile during the front-end and XML-RPC backup attempts. The next version, 2.2.b1, will have this fixed. It is a priority #1 issue for me.

Nicholas,

You are doing great work here! I think your product has great promise. I am trying a variety of backup solutions to get one that I can really depend on... of course the more simple the better. I must move on... but I will monitor development. Thanks for all your help!

Thank you for your kind words! The Remote is still in its infancy, so I have to fight with its "child diseases" at this point. I ran some very thorough tests over the last two days and I could reproduce what you experienced only in Linux (running under the latest released version of WINE). It seems that the timestamp of the last backup isn't stored correctly in the SQLite database. On Windows XP Home it worked flawlessly.

Which operating system are you using? And also, which locale are you using (or regional settings, as it's called in Windows)?

I am working on JoomlaPack Remote. I'll try to enhance the scheduling code and I'll post back when a new - fixed - version is out.

I have updated JoomlaPack Remote and posted a developer's release (466) in the Bleeding Edge, our unofficial developer's snapshots repository. Please use this version and post back if it worked for you or not.
