If you want to use GoogleDrive
or AmazonS3
, you have two choices of type of installation. Using Composer or downloading directly a ZIP archive from the repository.
Installing all SDK are not required, you can choose the one you need.
Dropbox
dropped support for the version 1 of the API since september 2017 - api-v1-deprecation-timeline - so I removed it from Duplicator until I got the time to code an interface for the API v2GoogleDrive
tested the 2017-12-03successfully
AmazonS3
tested the 2017-12-03successfully
In the root directory of your ProcessWire installation, just type in a terminal :
composer require google/apiclient
composer require aws/aws-sdk-php
After downloading the archive, open it, you will find a folder called SDKs
under each provider named directory. Extract or Upload this folder in the Duplicator module folder
. If the folder already exist, merge it. Example: /www/public_html/site/modules/Duplicator/SDKs
Download it from the Duplicator-SDKs repository.
Now you can refresh the Duplicator's settings page, the corresponding checkbox will be enabled.
Actually you have 3 choices to setup a cron job.
To edit a crontab through the command line, type: cronjob -e
then add for example the following line to build a package once a day :
4 0 * * * php /www/mysite/wwwroot/site/modules/Duplicator/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1
You can rely on PwCron to setup the job.
4 0 * * * php /www/mysite/wwwroot/site/modules/PwCron/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1
Because it's triggered by a pageview, this choice can slowdown your site - LazyCron documentation
Please look at this answer on stackoverflow to set up it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7195503/setting-up-a-cron-job-in-windows
If you are running CRON via a panel, please rely on the documentation of your hosting provider. Do not hesitate to ping on the support forum thread.
If this the case, you can rely on LazyCron module.

A bucket name should conform with DNS requirements:
- Should not contain uppercase characters
- Should not contain underscores (_)
- Should be between 3 and 63 characters long
- Should not end with a dash
- Cannot contain two, adjacent periods
- Cannot contain dashes next to periods (e.g., "my-.bucket.com" and "my.-bucket" are invalid)
Timeout usually happen if you are on a low-end budget host with limitations. The easiest way to solve this issue, is to use directory filters on some of your larger directories like your files
, vendor
, or even bower_components
directory to get the size down. Then reinstall the package at the new location and then FTP all the files over that you filtered.
Hosting Provider Issue List:
- 1and1 Shared hosting (resolved by using Filters)
- Dreamhost hosting (resolved using the
Archive Flush
option); Need to be tested again.
