Help backing up vb4

[Wood 20th*]

1. Take a backup of your vBulletin database (vb ACP/Maintenance/Database Backup or command line) before installing LDM or upgrading. THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES. IF THIS MESSES UP YOUR DATABASE, DON'T EXPECT US TO FIX IT...

Where do I find what this is indicating with vb4. I can't seem to find it where it is referencing too.

ACP/Maintenance/Database Backup must refer to an earlier version of vb.

I use this method for backing up: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/maintenance_ssh_backup

I recently stumbled upon vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231481) which looks like a good way to automate backups.

Haven't tried it but I've used several of Paul's other mods over the years, they're all great.

I just installed it, sweet backup, worked flawless on 4.0.6
I did recommend to him that he have the backup to
send an email also, rather then it just be sitting on the server.

very useful mod, I do not have to do manual backups anymore.
