DESCRIPTION: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ SSBackUp (Server Side BackUp) performs full backups of your website and sto- res them in separate folder of your server. When backups are created you can easily download or delete them. You do not need a ftp client! All operations can be performed only using SSBackUp. SSBackUp excludes previous backups du- ring the backup so that the final backup is not too large. Backups are sor ted by date so the last backup performed is the first on the list. And if you need to exclude some folders you can do easily using a special feature included in this version. Now I created a configuration panel for the date so you can easy choose your format! I really hope you will find this soft ware useful. It's all. Thanks! PS: if my scripts don't work as expected don't worry. Most likely on your server there is a different version of tar command or the exec function not available. To view SQLite log you can use https://sqlitebrowser.org/

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Php 8+ and Apache 2.4 (Strongly suggested migrate to Php 8.5+) Tar Command available Exec Php function available ZipArchive Class available SQLite available TARGET SERVER OS: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Linux Unix MacOS(X) Windows USAGE: ¯¯¯¯¯¯ 01) first upload ssbackup folders/files in the root of your website! 02) then browse with your web browser and run index.php. 03) follow the instructions that will appear on the screen. 04) when done, configurate your backup options. 05) now press "BackUp" button and wait until backup is done! NOTE: ¯¯¯¯¯ With this release, SSBackUp becomes officially universal. It now works also on Windows through the ZipArchive class, complementing and not replacing the Tar logic already consolidated on Linux, Unix and MacOS(X). All backups are now created without compression, with the same sobriety and speed on every platform, preserving the handling of files and folders without any loss of functionality. The refactoring has introduced improvements and new features while ensuring the same level of security across all systems. Warning: the access credentials created remain tied to the operating system. For example, those generated on Windows cannot be reused on Linux, Unix or MacOS(X) and vice versa. To use the application across multiple systems, the credentials must be recreated natively on each system, since the algorithms that generate them are different for each environment. Please do not use spe cial characters to create credentials, as Apache cannot read them.
