Backup database

[Sebastian]

Greetings.

I am wondering if there is a program that will automatically backup my database at a preset date/time automatically, save the dump on the server or ftp it automatically to a local computer.

I leave town for several days at a time and I would like to automate this.

Try using a Cron Job, accessible through your cPanel, which can execute commands at specific times, dates, etc. Not fully sure if it can perform vBulletin backup's, but I would suppose so.
