When I "Make forum datadump" and I then use Fud's file manager, the manager reports the resulting file as say "51828 KB", and when I try to download that file in firefox, firefox reports the same size. BUT, the download completes at say 4,508,063 bytes, and while I can "unzip" the resulting file, the inside file reads 17,255,954 bytes. This behaviour makes me a bit nervous.

So I un-check "Use Gzip Compression" and make another datadump and Fud makes me a new *fud.gz file.

Is this correct behaviour? Am I not seeing something?

I'm using FUDforum 2.7.4 BTW.

Thanks so much for all your work though!

Use the forum's file manager to browse the forum's tmp/ directory and see what it reports as the file size. If the file size is 50 megs it means your webserver may have a problem sending large files and you need to download this file via FTP. If the file is smaller, it may imply a forum bug, in which case let me know and I'll look into it.

OK I had someone ftp in and they say the file size info is:

-rw-r--r-- 1 passionalg www 53072289 Feb 14 19:34 FUDforum_14_02_2006_07_32.fud.gz

and Fud's file manager says: 51828 KB which looks pretty much even.

The 50MB thing looks like a webserver problem, but earlier backups report their size as: 46538 KB and 38516 KB and they too didn't actually yield a file downloaded the same size.

I've asked the person to actually try to download that FUDforum_14_02_2006_07_32.fud.gz file from FTP and verify it is indeed ~50MB or so when on their local machine.

Still, when I unchecked "Use Gzip Compression" it spit out a *fud.gz file all the same which sure seems like a bug.

Thanks!

The gz extension is not automatically removed, so even though the file is uncompressed the extensions is there. If you want it gone, manually remove it from the file name when making the backup.

OK it made a file where Fud reports its size as: 83516 KB with the name: FUDforum_16_02_2006_10_23.fud. but when I download it, it "completes" at ~20MB, and my local system reports its size as: 21,388,585 bytes.

Looks like no joy on backups. I dare not try to "restore" as a test with this file.

Did you download it via FTP or HTTP?
