is there any news on new version of the autoBackup add-on?

I search for solution to create backup to an external server, (ip/folder).

Thank you,

Hi Kostas, 

Thanks for the reminder, I just release 1.05 here: 
https://www.interactivetools.com/add-ons/auto-backup/

You can download it here: 
https://www.interactivetools.com/add-ons/my_purchases.php

Note that with this version you can set a specific backup folder with this line: 
$GLOBALS['AUTOBACKUP_DIR']    = DATA_DIR . '/backups';

But to backup to an external server you'd need to do more work, such as mapping a remote server to a folder

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

I start a research about the backup to external server with no luck until, now.

I there any live solution i can embed?

Keeping backup files on the same server is not the best solution and send over email everyday for over 30 client is lot of work with archiving afterwards.

How and where can i mount an externmal drive in the autoBackup.php like:

sshfs user@remotesystem:/remote/dir /some/local/dir

Regarded to the post Future CMSB Requirements: PHP v5.4 and MySQL v5.5 (http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/forum-posts.php?Future-CMSB-Requirements-PHP-v5.4-and-MySQL-v5.5-79943)
Is this for the next big update (maybe version 3) of the cmsb or even for the next immediate releases as well?

Please advise,
Kostas
