Hi all; For all of you using LedgerSMB 1.3 in production, please note that the backup routines that come as part of LedgerSMB were apparently broken by a number of framework changes between 1.2 and 1.3. They currently do not produce valid backups. Backups with standard PostgreSQL tools (pg_dump and pg_dumpall) work properly, so while significant, workarounds exist.
The problems include, among other things, the fact that users of the software typically do not have sufficient permissions to create backups. Given this and other changes I have decided to rewrite the database backup routines rather than try to get the existing functionality working. We expect to have a fix in place for 1.3.7, which will be due to be released this next week. In the mean time, if you want to backup your database, please use the above-mentioned tools. The new backup routines will be included in the database administration utility (setup.pl) and will be run from there. You will need to run one backup of roles for all db's plus a backup of each individual db you want to back up. This can be done by database administrators who have no valid LedgerSMB login.
