Description 

DNNBackup provides full backup and restore of any DotNetNuke Installation (complete DNN instances).  The restore can be made back to the source server or to a new destination.

DNNBackup is perfect for moving DNN installations from your local development machine to a deployment server, from a remote server to another remote server or for archival purposes.  Power users are free to customize many options.

This Backup and Restore DotNetNuke module will work on ANY ISP, including shared servers like GoDaddy, WebHost4Life, Discount ASP and PowerDNN. 

Major highlights

• Ideal solution for website cloning, copy, move or archival.
• Our backup technologies are always evolving, and have been tested by hundreds of happy users since 2005!. Check our reviews.
• Easy to use: There is no need for the user to configure any setting. 
  The module is auto-configured with the most convenient setting for the current hosting environment. Advanced users can customize what, when and where to backup.
• This is the first DNN Backup module capable of producing standard easy to read SQL scripts.
• Offsite backups: backups can be automatically saved to remote locations like a FTP server, Amazon S3 or Rackspace CouldFiles
• Evotiva DNNBackup can restore your site from scratch.
• This module does NOT depend on SMO or any other external component. 
  It provides a wide range of backup options, adapted to all hosting environments. I.e., regarding the database backup, it can use the standard SQL Server (native) backup engine, or it can use the SQL Server's SMO interface or it can use the module's own backup engine.
• Multiple schedules: advanced users can configure different scheduled jobs with different frequencies.
• Tested on most popular hosting providers including shared servers like GoDaddy, WebHost4Life, Discount ASP and PowerDNN. 
• Tested on Medium Trust hosting environments.
• It still supports source sites running SQL Server 2000 (up to the latest SQL Server 2005 and 2008 releases).
• Secure backup and restore operations: user credentials are verified before allowing any operation, password protected backup files. Optionally; you can choose the folder name and location (even a protected folder, outside the web site root) where to store the backup files, and you can also choose how the backup files will be named.

Latest Updates 

5.2.0  (September 4, 2010)

• ENH - An empty database file (Database.mdf) is now included in the restore pack. In case you want to restore (clone) to a sql express file, the wizard will configure all for you.
• ENH - Up to 800+% faster scripting of database objects (depending on your database schema).
• ENH - Improved  methods for database objects scripting.
• ENH - Unicode support for the dumped database contents.
• Updated documentation and added new demo/sample videos.

5.1.0  (August 25, 2010)

• ENH - Now all mail settings for a schedule job are editable on the main scheduler configuration section.
• FIX - In 5.0.1, when editing a schedule job from the scheduler configuration section, the database backup got disabled.
• CHG - The license key is now uploaded instead of pasted in a textbox. This change is to prevent a Breaking Change of ASP.NET 4 realted with the 'ValidateRequest=False' setting.
• ENH - Improved Restore Wizard and Restore pack. No 'manual step' is now needed to restore a running DNN site or clone it somewhere else. The restore wizard will take care of everything; including updating the web.config file and some database settings when cloning a site to a different server, database and/or web domain. All files are restored to their proper original locations.
• ENH - The Restore Wizard allows now all the restore options (guided database + files restore) even when restoring over an already running DNN site (the same source site or whatever target site in a new server).

5.0.1  (August 18, 2010)

• ENH - Added new offsilte backup option: Rackspace CloudFiles.
• ENH - Added new 'Silent mode' setting: It reduces the on-screen feedback about the ongoing process. This will make the backup consume fewer resources, and it will be also faster..
• ENH - Added new backup thread priority setting: normal / belownormal / lowest. Set a below 'Normal' priority in case your ISP has set tight performance restrictions for your web site.
• ENH - 'Exclude Folders List' in Files backup settings: it now can include a wildcard in the folder definition. I.e. you can define a list like this: \Portals\*\cache,\Portals\1,\Portals\0\R*,\Portals\0\ SpecialFolder\3*,\App_Data.
• ENH - New 'Delete Local File' setting for offsite backups (FTP and/or Amazon S3 and/or Rackspace CloudFiles). To save space, the local file (database and/or files backup) is deleted after the transference was completed.
• ENH - Multiples Schedules: You can define different and as many scheduled backups as you want. E.g. you can define a daily backup of the data that changes more often and a monthly backup for more static data. You can also create a schedule to copy a single table's data or a set of portal folders, or a job just to clear the DNN Event log or shrink the database, etc. 
  IMPORTANT: Please create your scheduled backups and reconfigure the schedule runner (read more on thedownloads page). 
• CHG - The documentation was updated.
