I have installed this module on a site and enabled it. However, no files are being backed up when I run either manual or scheduled backups. The resulting backup file contains only the database.

I do see the options for excluding folders from being backed up in the Backup and Migrate config options. I have checked my server to make sure that Archive_Tar is installed and it is.

Is there an extra step that's not in the documentation to get this working?

There are no errors in the Drupal log. There is just the regular message saying that the database backup was successful, but again, no files are being included in the backup.

I'm not sure about what this plugin does, but I use Backup and Migrate to backup my database, then I make regular copies of everything in my Sites folder so that I can put up a completely new site with those two sets of things if needed.

This module is specifically for backing up files. The base Backup and Migrate module is for the database.

I am having the same issue. It was working before and just noticed it has only been doing the database and not both database and files anymore.

Is this module being maintained anymore?

Have you selected Public or Private Files? Only one will be backed up at a time, database or files.

I had the same issue, but then realized it does not back up both at the same time.
