Had this installed on my VB3 and would like it to be ported to VB4. It was a life saver and think it would be greatly appreciated on VB4 as well.

Thanks!

I think you better wait until we have the final version of vbulletin 4.0 or at least a gold release.

Not everyone own the testing source atm and how they could make their mod compatiable when they dont have anything to start with?

The mod I use for database backup works just fine with vb4. It has no template mods - it's just php - so it works just fine.

You should test mods on a test site before assuming they won't work.

Thanks Lynne. Which mod are you using?

It is simply called "vBulletin Database Backup" in my Products list. I do not believe I got it from here. But, like I said, don't assume yours doesn't work - test it.

It does not work. Everytime you try to run it, it says:

"An error occured during backup"

I use the same mod on my VB3 forum.

Well, it's working on three of my vb4 test setups. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you.

if you have your own server install webmin - it has an automated backup and will save .sql files as .gz files (linux only product I believe).

This is another script we often use in our servers, but it is not specifically designed for vBulletin:

You need a shell account on your web server to run that.
