I get errors, when I reimport the sql-dump. It seems, that a false charset is used, when saving the dump. I use on my blog utf-8.
After the reimport the dump I get the folling error on the frontside of the blog:
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /wp-includes/widgets.php on line 533

pfs, BackUpWordPress is in beta stage. Especially the sql-Dump import feature needs heavily testing. Have you tried to import the dump via phpMyAdmin?

Yes, I did it after reimporting over BUWP. I got the same error. All special chars like ‘ä’, ‘ü’, ‘ö’ and ‘ß’ where replaced with ‘?’ in the dump created by BUWP.
MySQL: 5.0.37
MySQL client version: 4.1.21
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
MySQL connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci
Tables: latin1_swedish_ci
phpMyAdmin: 2.11.0
PHP Version: 5.2.5
running on Linux

pfs, must be the combination of you latin database tables and your unicode mysql connection. Please let me know, if you manage to fix that problem…

Well, I “fixed” the problem with a new installation of WP and edited all entries, over 100, because I haven’t made a backup of the database before reimporting the dump from BUWP … It was much work.

pfs, please remember, BackUpWordPress 0.4.5 is still a beta release. If you use it within a production environment, you have to know what you do!!
By the way, if restoring the database through BackUpWordPress fails, you can import the dump through phpMyAdmin. But: clean up your character encoding mixup before! If everything is unicode (and WordPress is as well), convert your tables to unicode, too.

I let the backup run for hours but it never said “completed.” I also never received an email copy of the backup although I included a gmail address. Now it takes my blog down until I delete .htaccess from the backup folder (which, by the way recreates itself and will need to be deleted again). I’m disappointed in the plugin although I do realize it’s a beta version.

peter, the problems with the .htaccess appear due to server configuration issues. Please try the plugin within an offline environment before using it on a production system (do some search on this site to get some hints how to set up such a thing). I do use BackUpWordPRess on production sites and hardly run into any problems. But I have to admit, I have never used it on a Windows Server for example…
