Hello,

    (free upgrade for purchases >= March 12 2009 up to April 14 2009)
  • SMO way to script database objects (sql server 2005/2008 only) was enabled and is now the dafault (instead of DMO). Note: SMO is still slow. Microsoft never fixed it :(

Summary

BackupScript provides full backup and restore of any DotNetNuke web portal.  The portal/database be can local or remote - including shared servers like GoDaddy and Cyber Siouxland Hosting.  The backup can include all web files and folders (\portals, \bin, \desktopmodules, web.config, etc.) and the database.  Any size of database is supported along with most field types (including BLOB columns), relations, procedures and other database objects.  The database is scripted as standard, commented and readable .SQL files.  The restore can be made back to the source server or to a new destination.

BackupScript is perfect for moving DNN portals from your local development machine to a deployment server, from a remote server to another remote server or for archival purposes.  Power users can customize options.  For example backups can be scheduled and individual tables and fields can be customized information (e.g. insert a different module or portal id).

This module will work on ANY ISP.
