Hello,

The leading (and reviewed by dotnetnuke) DNN Backup module has a new version.

Visit here for more details: http://www.evotiva.com/Modules/BackupScript/tabid/57/Default.aspx

BackupScript allows you to perform on any ISP, even GoDaddy; a full site backup & restore (no matter if the database is local or remote), even from scratch (no DNN running): the database (any size is supported, all BLOB columns are supported) plus all files and folders on the site (including \portals, \bin, \desktopmodules, web.config file, etc.).
The database is scripted as standard, commented and readable .SQL files!. The module can build all the datababase objects and recreate the data.
The backup can be scheduled, among other options.

What's new?

3.0.1 release

  • New license key required. Licenses for 1.x or 2.x versions are not valid for this release.
  • New "Script DataProviders" settings which enables a full restore (Case II - no DNN instance running at restore time) no matter if DMO or SMO is available on the source server (at restore time). 
  • New "External Folders List" setting, which enables include any absolute arbitrary folder within the portal files backup (they should have the proper access permissions).
  • New option to automatically FTP the backup files somewhere else.
  • New feature: The backup folder can now be any absolute folder. You can configure a folder outside the web site root (it should have the proper access permissions).
  • Improved documentation (new 'quick guide').
  • When restoring, now does not stop on the first error found (if any). It keeps running and restoring as much as it can.
  • Improved backup and restore feedback.
  • Many minor changes/enhancements.

Main Features

  • This is the first and only backup module reviewed by dotnetnuke.com (This module has passed the DNN review program)

  • FREE fully functional for localhost domain, no license required.

  • True Full site backup: database (structure + data) plus all files and folders on the site (including \portals, \bin, \desktopmodules, web.config file, etc.).

  • You can choose which tables, folders, etc. you want to backup/restore

  • You can choose when you want to perform a backup, not your hosting provider
    (some hosting providers provides backup solutions but allows you only limited backups per day or week).

  • Restore utility: allows you to "build/rebuild your database objects and/or data, with or without DNN installed/running. You need a valid license to restore the database on any not 'localhost' domain.
    The restore utility also allows you to restore your \Portals branch or unzip your full portal files backup in a temp (server) folder.

  • Handy SQL Query Tool which enables you to query and update your database simply from the Restore Utility page. No DNN running required.

  • BackupScript can restore/rebuild a site from scratch. No running DNN is required to rebuild a site.

  • BackupScript writes standard human readable and updateable .sql files which you can edit, modify and even manually run!

  • More than backup/restore: useful as a table's exporting data

  • You can create, backup and restore your site without any intervention from you host provider

  • FREE stored procedures validator utility

  • FREE table's PK validator utility

  • Any database size is fully supported. The module can deal with huge database containing huge Blob data (ready for the new DNN's protected storage).

  • Database objects scripting (FREE feature, no licensing needed to freely use it)
    The module can generate standard "sql" scripts of your database objects. See "How does it works" section for details.

  • Database table’s data scripting.
    The module can generate standard "sql" scripts for each table’s contents. See "How does it works" section for details.

  • Databe sql data providers scripting.
    The module can save all the .SqlDataProvider files (Core and 3rd. party modules) allowing (via the restore utility) a full site restore without any special requirement, like full-trust, DMO and/or SMO support, etc.

  • No ftp access required for your database backup needs.

  • No administrative rights required.

  • Enabled direct download of the last generated (compressed or not) backup files.

  • The module can automatically FTP you the backup files

  • Scheduled backups are enabled: Every time you configure the module settings, a scheduled task is automatically configured (with optional email notifications of successful or failed backups).
    You don’t need any administrative right to configure your scheduled task options. You can configure it directly from the module settings.

  • Optionally, date & time appended to each backup. Each backup operation will produce a different backup file.

  • Automated configurable deletion of older backup files.

  • Configurable compression level for the compressed ZIP files creation.

  • Zip64 format support (huge backup zip files)

  • Backup History Manager: DNN File Manager like dialog, where you can download, delete or restore any backup found on the configured backup folder.
    You can configure automatic deletion for old backup files.

  • Configurable process priority for the backup thread.

  • Simple and flexible licensing installation and policy

  • Works under medium trust security context (except database objects scripting, which is optional and not need if you enable the “Include DataProviders”  setting).

I have a particular need to migrate from MS SQL 2000 to MS SQL 2005. Both database servers are hosted remotely. Would this tool provide  an entire db backup script from 2000 which I could then use to install on 2005?

I own 3 websites, and I use BackupScript on all three of them. Yes, my web hosting company provides a database backup, but I have GoDaddy backups fail. I recommend having a second method to back up your websites.

BackupScript is worth it.


If God does not live in Colorado, I bet he visits there a lot!!
