    Hi folks,
    tried to run the backup script and it gives me the exec() error:
    Error ID: 2:Campsite:3.5.1:cli_script_lib.php:27
    Error String: exec() has been disabled for security reasons

    am I out of luck with my hoster? (as this is an php option I can't unlock myself)?

    Cheers,
    André

    If your hosting ISP won't allow safe_mode_exec_dir to be set:

    http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.sect.safe-mode.php#ini.safe -mode-exec-dir

    then you may indeed be out of luck.

    Newscoop hosting is something that Sourcefabric is now making available,
    so if you're interested in that, please contact Doug via:

    http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/services/#hosting

    Cheers!

    yep, can't turn that option on myself.
    Is there another way to backup&upgrade?
    or should I just forget about trying, as I'll be running into the exec() limitation all the time?

    you can manually copy these folders:
    files
    images
    conf
    templates
    and you need to get a db dump via phpmyadmin

    if you have a ssh access then just run bin/newscoop-backup script
