As stated by others, this module simply works, does pretty much everything it states it will do. All it needs is a way to backup the directory and we're all set!
Wow, short and simple, to the point and it just works
Ok, I am probably the hardest rater on this site. 3 means average. And I must admit I never looked at this modules documentation. (OOPS)!
Well gratefully, it is perfect. It is so well done that you don't need any documentation to use it1
I wanted something that would automatically backup my DB according to my preferred schedule and only keep a week's worth at a time-- this does exactly that. I didn't need to read any of the documentation, it was all extremely easy to use.
Can I speak about a module that way?
If not I would just say sublime!
This module saved me from having to write a half-assed .bat script on my WAMP site! Hooray!
A great "must have" module.
I really like that you can easily save a backup both on your server, or download it easily to your local machine.
I give the documentation a 5 so as not to punish this module...but to be honest, I have never needed to read any documentation. The module is intuitive enough on its own.
Gives me great comfort every time I do an upgrade.
very simple but useful module. an essential module for development purposes.
This is the best backup module i have come across.. Seems to be so much like phpMyAdmin the true db backup style .. :) and actually better.. I really liked the feature of backup schedule where you can specify the timeperiod between two backups and also specify the number of backup files to be saved!
Awesome!
Thanks man... just what i needed!
It takes 15 Minutes to clone a drupal installation using this module. A clean install, usage and migration. GREAT Work!!!
Missing some features, also the interface is a bit fuzzy IMHO.
This is an essential module for backing up your Drupal mySQL database. You just need to use this and zip up your Sites directory. You should be able to backup your site within 15 minutes. An essential module !
You can develop Your site anywhere and place it on any site You wish. Great work, great tool!
Totally vital module. Couldn't develop without it.
This module does what it says and does it well. It saved me when my install went bad and I didn't realize that my host backups had stopped.
When I first heard about this module I could not believe it. I uploaded it, installed and configured it, and started creating backups. Everything I heard was true. It is indispensable to the operation of a drupal site. You will wonder how you lived without it.
I love this module. Been using it for about a month and it saves me hours of hassle every week.
It allows you to selectively backup tables and data from your database, so the backup is much *cleaner* than I used to get when using mysqldump from the command line. It's also much faster. I can quickly create a backup of my live site, upload it into my local site or qa or sandbox or whatever... and be back to real work in a couple of minutes or less.
It also allows you to schedule backups, which is really nice to have.
Overall ... this is one of the best utility modules I've discovered for drupal in a long time.
This is a simple backup util for Drupal that should be in core, only additional suggestion is to backup the /sites directory as well.
Great stuff!
I am using this module with Drupal 6 to copy configurations from one installation to the next and the beta is working quiet well. Just the multi-select option lists should be replaced by checkboxes, because this would be easier to use (don't click without holding down the ctrl key!). So 4 points for "Ease Of Use", but it's indeed a very useful module.
Genius module, best one I've downloaded in ages. Does exactly what you want it to do, in a straight-out-the-box kind of way. This is really, really, great.
This module is perfect. Does what it says perfectly. I was able to take a production site, install this module, backup the database and re-create it on my dev server in about 4 minutes!
This took me about 3 hours or more previously.
I can't say enough good things about this module. I will never do Drupal without one. What a lifesaver. Backup as I am developing the site - every time I screw things up really badly - do a quick restore and everything is all better. What a pleasure!
Integrated Powerful Database Backup Tool für Drupal 5.x and 6.x.
It's very fast and easy to config. Very helpful if you want to test new modules. I have tested the latest version 6.x-1.x-dev (2008-Mar-31) and it's working fine.
"This is a bit mind-boggling that this wouldn't use tokens. So all emails are generic, with no customization..."
"This module is great, most of Drupal's weakness has been in people not understanding it's administration..."
"I have another site which I haven't installed this module on yet and I miss it a lot. It's a real time..."
