6.0.0.0 - 2015-05-04 - Dustin Bolton

Deployment
New "BackupBuddy Deployment" remote destination allowing pushing or
pulling your entire site to or from another existing site, in as few as two clicks.
See differences in site server settings, active plugins, theme,
versions, and media prior to deploying.
Options to transfer the database (all tables, some, or none), plugins,
theme, and/or media.
Automatic migration of URLs, paths, and other settings just like manual
migrations.
Watch the deployment progress just like a normal backup, displaying a
continuous status including a detailed advanced status log of the entire process,
all in one place.
Ability to undo the database changes with one click if something goes
wrong prior to confirming the deployment once you're satisfied.
Automatic chunking of data transferred between servers to support large
files or slow servers.
Swaps databases only after the entire database and all files have been
transferred to attempt to minimize site downtime to mere seconds (or less!).
Perfect for developing your site in a different location from the live
site. Use staging best practices.
Google Drive Destination
Intelligent hybrid of chunking & bursting for better handling large
files & server performance fluctuations by automatically scaling as needed.
Automatic "smart" adjustment during transfers to handle your specific server's
speeds and abilities.
Directory selector for easily finding where to store files or creating
new folders.
Per-backup archive limits based on the backup type.
List, delete, and download remote backups (remote management may be

more.
Status Log options added to download it as a text file, stop
automatically scrolling, or limit it to the last 100 lines being displayed. These

State data is now only output to browser javascript console when full
logging mode is enabled.
Debugging backup process data only sent to browser javascript console
when in development mode.
Fileoptions storage of the backup state now clears step arguments for

Each time a remote send status is updated now updates "time_updated"
entry with current timestamp.
Remote destination sends that have not been updated after a period of
time are now marked as timed out and send notification email.
Old status logs will now be removed after 10 days rather than 2 days.
Fixed "File destination send finished email recipient(s)" feature not
sending notification emails.
Fixed issue 'Manual Backup With Send and Delete After Reports ZIP File
Not Found at End' by no longer wiping send_remote_destination step information from
fileoptions after function finish.
Fixed timing issue / race condition where _getBackupStatus.php
retrieving fileoptions could possibly retrieve the file mid-write, resulting in an
incomplete serialized array being returned and a fatal error #9031b. If this
happens then it will sleep for 1 second, up to 10 times, re-checking the
fileoptions file for valid contents prior to proceeding.
Classic mode: Fixed possible javascript error when running under

FEATURE:
BackupBuddy Stash Live
Requires PHP v5.3 or newer. PHP v5.3 was released June 30th,
2009.
The easiest to use, most shared hosting-friendly backup solution,
without sacrificing any power. Live backup of all content, snapshots stored to
Stash, and all files scanned for malware and viruses.
Mirrors your complete site including files, database, and all
WordPress content offsite to BackupBuddy Stash Live servers, keeping your backup in
sync with your site.
Live backup of WordPress database changes as they occur,
including periodic full database dumps to insure nothing gets out of sync.
Backup of all site files to Live servers, scanned regularly for
changes, new, or deleted files.
Schedule to regularly snapshot zip files of all the data stored
on the BackupBuddy Stash Live servers.
Option to manually create a snapshot of the stored data.
Snapshotting results in a full backup zip file, database only
backup zip file, a zip of the theme directory, and a zip of the plugin directory.
Snapshots are fully BackupBuddy compliant zip files.
Snapshots are fully scanned for malware and viruses, able to
catch infections not normally found by front-end only scanners.
Automatically requests BackupBuddy Stash Live servers 'ping' the
site during Live activity to prevent delays between steps for low activity sites.
Your latest snapshot zip file is stored for a week regardly of
whether it is also set to save into Stash.
Snapshots may be stored indefinitely in your Stash storage,
limited only by your Stash quota.
Advanced options to control additional inclusions or exclusions
beyond your BackupBuddy defaults.
Easy to use. Sign in with your iThemes login and BackupBuddy
Stash Live immediately starts backing up your site.
Incremental: only changed files are transferred, saving server
resources and time.
Regular file auditing. Not only are file transfers verified as
they occur but also all files are regularly verified against the BackupBuddy Stash
Live server to insure they are still properly in sync.
Works on local development sites as long as either a) site
activity exists (such as by you using the wp-admin) or b) you stay on the
BackupBuddy Stash Live page to continue to push the cron along.
New Sync verb backupbuddy-get-liveStats for retrieving local
catalog/state statistics such as those shown on the BackupBuddy Stash Live page.
Live update of stats when viewing the BackupBuddy Stash Live
page.
FEATURE:
Stash (v2) destination now requests Stash Server to ping site whenever
chunking commences to help push the cron along for inactive sites.
FEATURE:
Added single retry when attempting to schedule a one-time or recurring
event in case there is a temporary problem.
FEATURE:
Only one BackupBuddy cron action may run per PHP page load. Subsequent
actions will be rescheduled for the next load.
FEATURE:
If any maximum log file size is exceeded it is now trimmed down to 50%
of its size (keeping most recent 50%) instead of completely deleting the log file.
ENHANCEMENT:
Adding remote destinations are now grouped by "Preferred", "Normal",
and "Legacy" to make selecting destinstions easier.
ENHANCEMENT:
New option to limit the number of files returned in Amazon S3 (v2)
destination. Defaults to 250 files per page.

underscore rather than dash.
Moved Advanced Setting to override Maximum Execution Time detection from
'Database' to 'Overall' section as it applies to other processes besides database
chunking, including BackupBuddy Stash Live chunking.
Improved remote file send fileoptions cleanup performance.
Remote send fileoptions cleanup now also removed lock file (if exists).
Deployment no longer sends error emails for failed remote sends.
Now limiting the maximum number of notifications (as used by Recent Activity
page & Sync) to 25 most recent notifications to prevent excess notification
buildup.
Added new deepscandir() to replace deepglob() as deepglob() did not support
directories or files beginning with a period.
Anti directory browsing function now recursively creates directory if needed.
S3 (v2) destionation: Fixed 'Next Page' button showing even if there are no
more pages.
S3 (v2) destination: Fixed inability to delete remote files due to extra
slash in path.
Stash (v) destination: Fixed long load times due to trying to load backup
type from fileoptions. File listing no longer falls back to fileoptions for backup
type.
fileoptions no longer pauses and re-attempts to read a fileoptions file if
the file does not exist; now only does this if the file exists but is empty.
Added new {home_url} variable for error notification emails.
Error emails now default to mentioning the {home_url} rather than {site_url}
in emails.
ImportBuddy: Now handles Live-formatting SQL filenames, prefixed with
underscores. Imports underscore prefixed timestamped SQL files after normal SQL
files, playing them back in the order they occurred.
FEATURE:
Automatic testing of the reported maximum PHP execution time.
Improved reliability of traditional backups, remote destination
sends, Deployments, and BackupBuddy Stash Live.
Many servers report their maximum PHP execution time as a higher
number than is actually available. This interferes with BackupBuddy's chunking
during database backups, file transfers,
and other operations which require a lot of time. As of v7.0
BackupBuddy will actually test the available runtime and use the lesser value
between the reported and tested numbers to
ensure that chunking commences before time runs out, drastically
reducing the chance of timeouts during any procedure where chunking is available
and the server is misreporting runtime.
Added additional logging when error is returned accessing remote API during
deployment.
Fixed AJAX URL compatibility issue with WPML plugin.
New default log size of 3MB. Updated to new default if old value was either
of the old defaults of 10mb or 5mb.
Backup steps now schedule their single event slightly in the past to push to
top. -155sec. Live schedules -60 into the past to come in second place.
Fixed manual triggering of PHP runtime checker not showing results properly.
Memory usage logged in Status Logs now indicates current usage rather than
peak for better troubleshooting.
Renamed "Local Directory" Remote Destination to "Local Directory Copy" to
help indicate its purpose better.
Added alert to Local Directory Copy destination informing about how
BackupBuddy already stores a local copy of backups and that this is for additional
copies.
FEATURE:
Live: Watched for file changes and uploads immediately: Added media,
plugins, themes via WordPress. Deleted media and plugins.
ENHANCEMENT:
Added protection against email flooding if too many error occurs too
closely together.
Changed EJS template extension from .ejs to .htm to prevent MIME type issues
on IIS (Windows) servers.
FEATURE:
Enhanced emails added with HTML styling for better presentation of
notification emails.
FEATURE:
Quick Setup Wizard now automatically chooses the newest version of a
particular Remote Destination compatible with your server.
Function running too long message no longer displays for zip file creation
step since it tracks the time since zip file growth and warns on that.
Now logging currentl sql file to 9010 error log file for troubleshooting.
No longer reporting error for failed schedule creations as long as we can
verify the schedule does indeed exist.

improved performance and foreward compatibility.

Deployment: Added new option to compare files between sites based on file
hashes for enhanced reliability detecting file changes.

help discourage use: Dropbox (v1), Amazon S3 (v1), Stash (v1). No ETA on retirement
but further notice as well as more alerts will be displayed prior to retirement.

transfers.

7.3.0.1 - 2017-02-27 - Dustin Bolton
OVERVIEW:
This release focuses on increasing robustness and reliability of the
Stash Live and Deployment features.
Also includes the official release of Quick Release updates 7.2.2.1-
7.2.2..6, including all features and enhancements within those.
FEATURES:
Automatic cleanup of expired transients from the database to increase
site performance and reduce needless old transients from hanging in the database.
Automatic cleanup of corrupt transients from the database.
Settings -> Other tab has added new button to clean up transients
manually.
ENHANCEMENTS:
Stash Live: Significant increase in robustness. Prior to this version
corruption of the catalog would result in the backup process falling back to an
earlier state, resulting in longer transfer times or Stash Live even hanging
indefinitely if the catalog was repeatedly corrupted. This is no longer the case.
Stash Live: Faster recovery upon encountering a temporary error due to
timeout or memory limit causing file lock to persist.
Settings -> Other tab's housekeeping options now include a Status Log
to see what is happening. Re-organized the display.
BUG FIXES:
Various fixes to Deployment cleanup and confirmation procedures.
Misc fixes.
Added is_array() check then default assignment to Stash Live catalog
load to avoid warning in PHP 7.1.
7.3.0.2 - 2017-03-03 - Dustin Bolton
Fixed PHP 7.1 compatibility issue in importbuddy database replacement due to
variable being initialized as string instead of array. Only impacts PHP 7.1+.
7.3.0.3 - 2017-03-03 - Dustin Bolton
Fixed inability to disable Stash Live no new snapshot notification by setting
its value to zero (0).
Added Google Drive note: If re-using a project for multiple sites, do NOT
exceed 50 sites per project. Google limits tokens to 50 or FEWER per project.
Trimmed remote destination libraries to reduce plugin size.
Removed unused images to reduce plugins size.
ENHANCEMENT:
8.0.0.0 - 2017-06-13 - Dustin Bolton
PROFILES
New "Smart Profiles" Themes, Plugins, Media for backing up files of
each respective type/location:
SCREENSHOT:
http://image.prntscr.com/image/c866aeb96c8d47dd86d44dbd66b3274b.png
Use the new default smart profiles or create your own for further
customizing. These new profile types allow you to automatically only backup this
section of the site, allowing for more granular control over what is backed up by a
profile. Paired with scheduling this allows you to easily break up backup processes
into smaller portions for better spreading server load or timeout issues,
especially for larger sites. Smart profiles also support directory and file
exclusions.
New "Custom backup root" option for all profile types (except
database):
SCREENSHOT:
http://image.prntscr.com/image/af2c0f714183423eb8b04d4c146ad1e6.png
You can now configure which directory BackupBuddy backs up on a
per-profile basis. Prior to this feature you could only backup the entire site and
select directories to exclude. You can now select any directory to be backed up,
even directories ABOVE the WordPress root (abspath) by using "/../" in the path.
This is useful for backing up individual directories, 3rd party applications, or
directories outside the WordPress root. This can also be used for more granular
control when breaking up backups across multiple profiles for spreading server load
or working around timeout issues.
Global exclusions apply but default but exclusions may be set for
just this profile relative to this custom path manually or with the exclusion
picker.
"Full" and "Files" profiles now have three SMART exclusion options:
Auto-exclude Media Directory, Auto-exclude Themes Directory, Auto-exclude Plugins
Directory for making it easier to exclude directories which can be backed up by
other default Profile types.
SCREENSHOT:
http://image.prntscr.com/image/5a2b85de30ad4ab281a362630fc038c6.png
Backup profiles can now individually override the default global backup
mode (classic vs modern) on a per-profile basis.

STASH LIVE
Significant performance improvements, especially for larger sites.
Sites which in the past would run out of memory due to hosting limits are very
likely to now operate within server limits.
A troubleshooting scan is now regularly performed detecting common
problems and alerting the user and also providing solutions.
A new "Troubleshooting Scan" button to upper right of page of Stash
Live page is available for manually troubleshooting.
SCREENSHOT:
http://image.prntscr.com/image/b80166b92ce24f77986b4892150ee325.png
IMPORTBUDDY:
New "Search Engine Visibility" setting to Step 6 of restore process,
allowing you to either keep the setting as it was on the source site, turn on
search engine visibility, or turn it off. Useful for moving sites between
development, staging, and live locations.
SCREENSHOT:
http://image.prntscr.com/image/a10ff6ca440c4d6a8658eb3ed49c9e33.png
Added "Forgot password" feature which allows you to generate a new
password hash. This hash can then be placed inside the importbuddy.php file to make
it usable even if you forgot its password.

Javascript errors are now automatically detected and brought to the
user's attention as well as logged to aid in troubleshooting. Sometimes various
browser plugins running javascript fail causing importbuddy.php's javascript to
halt.
Improved look and feel with animated progress as well as highlights to
areas that require user attention.
importbuddy.php file size has been reduced for faster uploading during
restore process.
GENERAL
Directory exclusions (both global and profiles) support three new
variables: {media}, {theme}, and {plugins} to exclude those specific WordPress
directories.
Added advanced option to hide the BackupBuddy Status widget from the
dashboard, including the dashboard option to hide or display it.
Reduced plugin file size by removing unneeded remote destination
library files.

Selection of plugins to push/pull now only lists plugins that either do
not exist on the destination or differ in version.
DROPBOX:
Added support for Google "Service Accounts" which allows for more than
50 tokens per account for users with large numbers of sites. Previously users with
more than 50 sites would hit a Google Account token limit.
