Very very excellent work..
keep on...

Excellent help from Stefan. I made some beginners foulds and Stefan took care for it. Thanks. Super Service!

Does exactly what it sets out to do. Took 2 mins to install, enter my email address and get a backup mailed to me. The file then imported without error into my local copy of the site.

Only one minor niggle - backups are scheduled so I can't go into the admin panel and send a copy of the db immediately when I have made changes to the site.

I've had this extension on my site for sometime and have never had a problem with it. It's reassuring to get a complete database back-up regularly delivered to my email inbox. It's helped me out from time to time when I would have otherwise lost data. Well done and thanks to the developers.

I have been using this plugin for my backups and have been very happy with it. Works out of the box and easy to setup.

Option to delete backups after they have been sent would be very appreciated. Why keep backups on a system that you are backup up anyway? (most databases are on localhost where webserver is)

Owner's reply:
Hi - somehow a few did get these, (got 57 mails and 3 had this problem that the files did not get deleted).

Now fixed in the newest version, so it will be deleted

Well this is excellent.

Especially if you are really lazy, just download this one and install it :-)

Great configuration settings/options too !
Thanks heaps.

This little tool saved me this morning.. What more could a lazy guy like me ask for..

simple, basic,tiny

one couldn't ask for more

great plugin but it dose not support UTF-8

Having seen the glowing reviews below, I was a bit surprised at how much trouble I had.

For GOD'S sake, don't run it in test mode. I did. This seems to cause it to make continuous backups, one after another, which locked up the server to the point where it needed a manual reboot. Of course trying to get to the admin page to turn it off starts the whole process again. It took me five reboots to catch it. Agreed, there is a warning - but I wan't expecting a complete lock-up on a quiet server.

There is no easy way to force a second backup in any given day (for instance if you have just made a critical upload).

There is no easy way to restore the backup data. You are pretty much sent an SQL script and left to figure it out for yourself. Ok for me, but not a user-freindly tool for noobs.

Owner's reply:
1. It can be restored via phpmyadmin in 1 click (import), cant be done more easy :o)



2. There are 2 lines when looking at the component site :

# configure email (dont touch anything else if you dont know what it is)

# Dont use testmode unless you know what you are doing (can crash site)



I think its say it clear :o)

LazyBackup is super easy to set up. Ive only been working with joomla for a week. So when I say its easy its really easy.

LazyBackup is an easy to use plugin that does what it says.

I currently use it on my site and have it set up for weekly backups. The email that I recieve is very small and tells me when the site has last been backed up.

I would highly recommend this to all Joomla users.

My ISP's phpmyadmin is broken, and I needed a way of doing database backups. This extension does everything I want - easily. It's now running on all my sites.

Owner's reply:
Well this is the most simple and easy backup system for database in joomla :o) Happy you can use it.

Easy to install and configure. Thanks for a great plugin!

This is a awesome backup system. Keep up the good work.
