I cant do a backup in produciton

[Nyholm]

I don't know why or if it is related to the bundle or my machine.

On prod machine:

• Version 1.6.3 runs fine
• dev-master stalls at compressing archive

On local machine:

• Version 1.6.3 runs fine
• dev-master runs fine

I will investigate in this further.

Hmm weird.. What is your backup config part?

[Nyholm]

Here is my config.

dizda_cloud_backup:
  # such as: hostname_2014-01-01_21-08-39.tar
  output_file_prefix: %site_domain%
  folders: [ web/uploads ]
  processor:
    type: tar # Required: tar|zip|7z
  cloud_storages:
    google_drive:
      token_name: 'tobias_gmail'
      remote_path: %google_drive_backup_path%
  databases:
    mysql:
      all_databases: true
      db_host: %database_host%
      db_user: %database_user%
      db_password: %database_password%

Are you sure that you have tar and gzip installed? This version is really messy, you should maybe try to migrate to the last version

[Nyholm]

Yes, tar is installed.

I think I got it now btw. The 2.0 version does not have the --folders option on the command. Which makes the "copy folders" non-optional. I got GB's of data in my web/uploads. That might be why the tar commands takes forever... I will do some more tests to make sure this is the reason.

[dizda]

Right! I removed it, because it did not make sense to me. But I understand the utility now. The default behavior when we start the command should apply all steps defined in the config.yml, right? Maybe we should rename it to --no-copy or something like this? What do you think?

[Nyholm]

I agree that it did not make any sense. --no-copy would be a better solution.

_But_, do we want it at all? Is there a use case where I sometimes want to to a "complete backup" and sometimes a "database backup"?

[dizda]

You tell me :)

[dizda]

You mean that you want to make a separate command?

[Nyholm]

For me, there is no use case. I thought I would like to do that (have 2 different backups) but I've never used it. I suggest to leave it as it is until a feature request comes around.

[dizda]

Agreed! Anyway, thanks for this interesting point.
