reinstalled and the page displayed correctly.

when selecting the following;

Backup all files and DB

and checking "Leave Copy of Server"

I get an Internal Error 500

However, when I go back to the extension I see that the backups appear to have been written;

punbb_dump_20090713-090935.tar.gz Delete
punbb_dump_20090713-090924.tar.gz Delete

You should reinstall the extension.

I replaced the entire xml file with the one supplied and received the same error;

"Content Encoding Error

Don't forget to create backup of your DB and forum files manually before testing.

Uhmm ... oops! I guess now that I think about it; that makes sense.

yes, I'd be more than happy to test it out on my forum. I have a pretty low intensity use forum that is only accessed by four people. Just for sharing ideas related to our band.

Linux is a *nix O.S.

I would if I could but I dont believe my server is running that OS. I think it's just a Linux server.

There is no functionality in PunBB core. But there is an extension called pun_admin_backup which allows to create backups of DB and forum files on *nix OS. But this extension is needed for testing. Could you please, help us test it out?

I'm not certain if this exists or not ... I've searched the forums. I've found database backup mods but no full backup mods.

I'm a new convert from phpBB and I liked that I could do a full db and forum backup. Does that functionality exist in pun? I didnt see it in the documentation.

Thanks,
