Backup

katos

I have tested this internally for QA, and it's working an absolute dream.
It's super easy to configure, and being a GSuite user, the backup to Drive is very handy!

My only bug-bear so far is the request to change the timestamp (ISO) to a readable format that follows DATEtime formatting to make it easier to identify.

A great addition to the list. But I strongly condemn that most premium extensions require a paid subscription. With a monthly fee of $5 this extension costs $60 per year, the same price as a comfortable shared hosting. Multiply this by the 8 other premiums and you can wonder if it makes sense to spend $480 every year on a software. (this is an extreme case to make my point)
I wouldn't however be opposed to a one time fee.

do we have restore option from backup files? if not please plan this in next version

katos

Hari Personally I'd argue that wouldn't make much sense?
If you're able to restore through an extension then surely your forum is already working? 🤔

However, the extension packages both your FTP and SQL backups, so it wouldn't be difficult to restore this manually.

Hari Restoring through the extension would probably be more trouble as it is worth. Apart from probably not having a working forum when you need to restore the backup, you'd still need to install composer dependencies (vendor is not backed up as it's not necessary, only composer.json is) and make sure the DB import works fine and all.

Added new plans to Extiverse.

Current prices are $5 $4/month, ~~$45~~ $25/year, or a one-time payment of ~~$70~~ $40.

Subscribe @ https://extiverse.com/extension/datitisev/flarum-backup to cover your forum backup needs.

And remember, you can suggest services to backup to when you've subscribed to the extension.

I could only pay via Klarna... Who pays by credit, please? If then PayPal, which everyone doesn't have either!

Justman10000 I think @luceos is working on (or was planning on) adding more payment methods to Extiverse. Apart from that, I can't say anything that'll magically add payment methods, sorry 🤷‍♂️.

Yeah not anytime soon 🙈 But still on my to-do.

Justman10000 credit card is pretty much the industry standard for online payments in many countries. Understand that every additional payment method costs quite some time to get implemented. As I haven't heard of Klarna and had no other requests for that yet it I need to evaluate whether it makes sense to add.

Could the prices be lowered? I don't want to say that it wasn't worth the price, didn't take any time or effort, just $ 40 is not exactly cheap, especially if you don't have a lot of money! In the end, they would make just as much, if not more, money, because then more people would buy or rent this ... Furthermore, it would be practical if you could at least pay via PayPal ... Not everyone has a credit/debit card 😂!

This is a current limitation of Extiverse, and so I can't do much about it righ tnow.

I suggest you instead pay for a single month - if you can, of course. If the extension meets your expectations and/or I'm able to modify things to meet them, we can then figure something out.
