Addition to the issue reported at #13951.

I did setup the Backup to drop box as per instructions and when I run it I got the following errors (repeated a number of times)
<h3>Files uploaded to Dropbox</h3>
ERROR 2: Trying to access array offset on value of type null
0 Error occurred on line <b>323</b> of file <b>module.php</b> in function <b>uploadFile</b>
1 called from line <b>269</b> of file <b>module.php</b> in function <b>upload</b>
2 called from line <b>215</b> of file <b>module.php</b> in function <b>config</b>
3 called from line <b>53</b> of file <b>module.php</b> in function <b>modAction</b>
4 called from line <b>32</b> of file <b>module.php</b>

This is an odd error message.

It is saying that Dropbox did not provide a file name for one (or more) of the files it received in your backup / transfer.

The attached zip folder contains a replacement for the complete “backup_to_dropbox” module (kiwitrees/modules_v4/backup_to_dropbox).

It will revent such errors causing a problem, but doesn’t help understand why it happened.

Please try it, and let me know here if it works OK, and if possible provide a screen dump of the module page after the file transfer to Dropbox completes.

When I first run after upgrade it gave me an error something about permission.

Question 1 – Have you gone through the instructions and set up the Dropbox API requirements?

Question 2 – Can you switch to PHP ver 7.4. It may have a bearing on both this issue, and the Datbase backup issue.

Yes I have but if you want we can zoom so I can show you what I did.

Question 2 – Can you switch to PHP ver 7.4. It may have a bearing on both this issue, and the Database backup issue.

Yes we have switched back to php 7.4.  I just double checked.

Hi Nigel,

I have the data backup to dropbox working,   It does however not include a sql backup of the database.

Also I have included for you the screen shots for including in the Backup data to your own Dropbox account − Kiwitrees page as it appears the rules have changed.

 

Thanks for the images. I’ll be updating the instructions page soon, so will add those.

RE: ” It does however not include a sql backup of the database.”

You have to be able to run “Database Backup” for that to happen.
