Today I spent some time looking over the 1.6 backups code where I’d let it off a while ago and managed to get it working. There were a few really simple things wrong from when I’ve changed something in one place but not another but now its up to the point that its working properly so I’m happy. Annoyingly I keep using an old 1.5 instance to restore from so I’m going to have to do a new 1.6 instance and use that for my new dump files. Mind you I’m happy that this little side project has come together, once I get the file system level backups working properly (at the moment it does in-database table copies and SQL dumps/loads) I’ll be able to put it together into the installer subsystem and have full packages made of items before install. I’m still trying to work out what Joomla! upgrades look like yet, but I’ll figure it out sooner or later.
