There is a stub 8.x-3.x branch but aside from the D8 info.yml file (thx @QIQferdly #2409379) the code is all D7. The rest of 7.x-3.x needs porting - any wonderful soul able to help is most welcome to do so. This project might be helpful in that effort: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalmoduleupgrader. Many more resources at https://www.drupal.org/update/modules/7/8

This is the result of running Drupal Module Upgrader. NOTE: the .html report of 'Analyze' is within the directory.

Many thanks to Les Lim and Drew Gorton.

When we tried to enable ala checkbox we got this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''error'' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in /Users/bradthorntonlowry/Sites/devdesktop/drupal-8.x/modules/backup_migrate/backup_migrate.module on line 1924

When running drush dmu-upgrade backup_migrate we got two errors that may or not be in the report.

Regards,
Brad Lowry

I just started a new sandbox project(https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/yukare/2619964) to upgrate backup_migrate from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8. I will work there and make patchs available as I progress.

I will get the current 7.x.3.x and start from there, some work will be lost, and i am sorry for this, but there was some changes on 7.x after some work was done on 8.x.

If someone want to help, just ask for commit permission.

Version: 8.x-3.x-dev » 8.x-4.x-dev

8.x-3.x has been canned, so lets make this more generic on "upgrade configs from D7 to D8".

A more standardized title.

I'd like to request the maintainers release an alpha2 due to the critical, data-corrupting fix (#2749885: Database irreversibly corrupted after export and restore - Encoding issues with non ASCIII texts) finally being committed so that new users can avoid data corruption.

Status: Active » Closed (duplicate)

I'm recommending that we close this issue since the discussion seems to be more active on another thread that is essentially a duplicate, [backup_migrate] Backup and Migrate. From that thread:

Port to Drupal 8 Complete?

It appears that the port of Backup and Migrate to Drupal 8 has two threads running, this primary one as well as an older Port Backup_Migrate to Drupal 8. I am recommending we close the older issue and concentrate the ongoing discussion about development and maintenance here since the Drupal 8 version is now usable with the Alpha 2 release.

Also note the updated summary of progress on the Drupal 8 version here.
