Hello folks,

users usually just show up, as soon as they have problems - so do i, unfortunately.

I was looking around for a suitable Joomla backup solution, and ended up with JoomlaPack. I tested it a couple of days in my sandbox and I must say it's nearly perfect for my needs.

BUT, unfortunately my provider has a 10 MB limit for files created by scripts and users, so I took some houres today to resolve this and i was very conscious to fix my Problem with "Part size for archive splitting" option in advanced config tab.

yes, I also read the notice this option only works with zip packer, but not in my installation !? I tried php-ZIP and tar.gz options, both are not working... maybe because i am testing on a windows machine, where no tar / gzip binaries exist ?

please help ! I would really like to use you fantastic tool....

Hi !

nobody has same Problem, as I do ? Nobody uses this option "Part size for archive splitting"?

hmmm..

nicholas, many thanks for your answer...
i did not help immediately, but it made me play around a bit more, and i found out, that my test with value "1024" was just too small !

It seems that if the file, that is currently added to the archive itself is larger than the split-size it will be added anyway. So, I would recommend you to update either the documentation or to change the unit what to enter in this field to KB at least :-)

So, I can say, it works with JPA archiving now perfectly. Thanks for this great tool !

regards, FS.

Nicolas,

yes, that was exactly the paragrph in the doc that made me try 1024 bytes as this must be reached quickly !

Unfortunately I did not know about the zip-limitations you mentioned

Inputing 1024 effects no splitting taking place. In fact, any value less than 65536 (that's 64Kb expressed in bytes) results in a single-part archive.

This paragraph should be added to the documentation.
thanks !
