A backup API for Joomla

Joomla Backup

Requirements

• htaccess support
• SEF and URL Rewrite enabled

Important

The backups directory is protected by a .htaccess file. Please make sure that your webspace supports htaccess. Otherwise the backups could be downloaded by a stranger. That is unlikely because guessing the filename is nearly impossible and if someone guesses the filename, the backup is still encrypted, but an additional security layer (the htaccess protection) is never wrong.

Issues

• The backup script is currently not able to preserve the owner and group of each file and directory, it just preserves the permissions on UNIX systems.
