Magic migration URL form is now inside a form element to allow keyboard usage to work better. - re: Chris
Magic migration URL is now pre-populating with the guess. - re: Chris
RE CHRIS NOTES:
The backup file listing shows a lot of "Unknown" strings. Considering that some of the listings have seven unknowns, the information becomes muddled and difficult to read.
Unknown should only be displayed for old backups (hopefully). Any suggestions on cleaning this up for backups that lack this data?
PclZip issue
Unable to replicate.
This error is thrown here. From your log this means that fopen must have returned a false for some reason for you.
1953 if (($this->zip_fd = @fopen($this->zipname, $p_mode)) == 0)
1954 {
1955 // ----- Error log
1956 PclZip::privErrorLog(PCLZIP_ERR_READ_OPEN_FAIL, 'Unable to open archive \''.$this->zipname.'\' in '.$p_mode.' mode');
1957
1958 // ----- Return

1961 }
After adding a destination, it appears that the only thing that happens is that the inputs empty. I have to scroll to the top of the dialog to see that something has actually happened. The same thing happens when modifying an existing destination except that the inputs do not clear out after submission. If the submission is to be handled by Javascript and not a fresh page load, then the page should be automatically scrolled to the top so that it is clear that the action did something.
Unable to replicate. Forms submit without javascript and the action goes back to the same page with an anchor to the same tab so it should be going to the top.
When selecting an existing remote destination, what if I want to use a different path? An option should allow for customizing the path without requiring modification of the remote destination (if the destination is used for backups and the user forgets to change it back after the migration, then their new site will start to fill with backups). The feature should support supplying new FTP information without creating a new destination.
The entire remote destination system needs refactored and really needs to be done to make this doable without severe rigging.
As a workaround I've added the ability to duplicate destinations for now until the destination system is redone.
Backup listing actions inconsistent. For example clicking the backup filename on the migration page shouild start migration instead of downloading the archive. @see Chris' suggestions for handling this. - re: Chris
3.0.0.14a - 2012-05-07 - Dustin Bolton

Added trigger details into DAT file.

FEATURE: Individual files can now be excluded from backups (no longer just directories!). Now listing files in exclusions navigator for easier exclusion of individual files.
A few giant files clogging up your backups? Not only can you exclude entire directories but now you can also exclude individual files!
ImportBuddy: When wp-config.php is unwritable ImportBuddy will notify user & give the content the user may paste into the file. This was only displaying "Array" rather than the config content.
mysqlbuddy updated to provide error message when mysql_query() returns false.
Upgraded Amazon S3 library to 0.5.0.
Added ImportBuddy favicon.
FEATURE: Added Amazon S3 support for "Reduced Redundancy" class storage for a more affordable cloud storage option.

Sometimes things go wrong and your database gets corrupted. This often means having to use a web hosting tool or something like phpmyadmin to attempt to repair it. BackupBuddy now offers the option to test and run the mysql command to perform a basic repair on database tables. This can be accessed on the Server Information page by hovering over a table name in the list. This is a simple way to check and perform a basic repair.
ImportBuddy upload feature no longer redirects back to login screen.

Limit the number of archives by site.
Backups are organized within their own site folder for easy access.
Manage your backups, delete, copy down to local, or get a direct download link good for an hour.
FEATURE: PHP Max Execution time tester added (beta)
Allows you to actually perform a test to determine your real tested maximum execution time allowed by your server. BackupBuddy attempts to override the execution time allowed to a very high number but almost all hosts cap the number much lower so the reported number can be far too high. This test actually runs a script and keeps trask of the elapsed time to determine the actual maximum execution time limit of your server.
FEATURE: Stash now supports multipart uploads (chunking uploads into pieces to allow larger files to be transferred in pieces over time).
Extremely large files can now be transferred to Stash than could be before by breaking files up into 'chunks' and sending one piece at a time.

Removed remaining S3 reduced redundancy call.
Tilde ~ stripped from backup filename now.
Fixed inability to delete files from all files Stash page due to requiring authentication.
Stash quota now taken into account before scheduled sends to prevent sending files that would exceed quota. This previously was only being checked for manual sends.

Beta feature: Database backups can be broken up into individual chunks. Currently wp_posts and wp_postmeta are broken out if feature enabled during beta of this feature.
Minor interface tweaks.

Fixed invalid serial error if ImportBuddy password has not been set.
3.1.5.2 - 2012-11-27 - Dustin Bolton

To make it easier to perform a restore or migration you can now provide your cPanel login credentials and BackupBuddy will connect to cPanel and create and set up your database and set permissions so you don't have to go to all of the trouble of performing this complicated step that is often a struggling point for many users, especially their first time.

Keys not disabled pre-insert and re-enabled post-insert per table in SQL dumps for both mysqldump and phpdump.
ENHANCEMENT: Preflight check now scans for any backup files leftover in the site root (ie from a recent restore) and warns.
ENHANCEMENT: ImportBuddy now checks for existing index.htm/html file before restore to warn of it potentially blocking WordPress from loading.
Sometimes you may have an index.htm/html file in the directory you restored to. On some servers this can prevent the loading of WordPress. Now you will receive a warning as one additional layer of checks we perform to help make imports as smooth as possible.
Maximum PHP runtime no longer overriden if it is equal to 0 (unlimited) or greater than the number we would be changing it to (currently 7200 seconds).
Incomplete or in-process backups could show the finished time as being far in the past. Fixed to properly denote the backup as unfinished.
