Description of my issue:

I have been using the remote CLI. The backup is successful and the jpa-file is downloaded.
But the jpa-file is not deleted from the host.

The log states:
DEBUG |111218 19:31:13|Not removing processed file /administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup/site-20111218-191627.jpa

the remote script:
php remote.phar --action=backup --host=http://host.something/_sites/rocket --secret=secret --profile=1 --download --dlmode=curl --dlpath="/home/to download/backup/sites/alarmmannen.no" --dlurl="ftp://ftpuser:[email protected]/www/_sites/rocket/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup" --delete

I am able to both delete(record and Archive) and deletefiles(delete archive) from the backend of my site.

In your remote CLI walktrough you use the option --delete in two different places in the script:

Case A:
php remote.phar --action=backup --host=http://www.example.com --secret=iloveakeeba --profile=1
--download --dlmode=curl --dlpath="c:\Downloads" --delete
--dlurl="ftp://foo:[email protected]/public_html/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup"

CaseB:
php-cli.exe remote.phar --action=backup --host=http://www.example.com
--secret=iloveakeeba --profile=1 --download --dlmode=curl --dlpath="c:\Downloads"
--dlurl="ftp://foo:[email protected]/public_html/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup"
--delete

Does this matter?

SOLVED:

I'm using the newest backup versjon 3.3.10

I was playing around with the options with the resultat of the latest backup file being deleted:

The command working on my host are:

php remote.phar --action=backup --host=http://host.host --secret=secret --profile=1 --download --dlmode=curl --dlpath="pathtodownload" --delete --durl="ftpsomething" -D

The optons --download --delete --D seems to do the trick. Feel free to comment the use of these options.

Put together in a script i'm able to backup and download all my sites.

Great component for Joomla

Merry xmas
