hmm...I've tried it a few times with the same result.

I'am wondered: when I choose switch off the forum being DB backup, the forum is OFF for over a hour, how to solve that problem, due of DB backup progress takes no more than 5 minutes?

As I have repeated many times in the various threads, if you have problems with the option to turn the forum off, then dont use that option.

*uninstalled*
I have read this entire thread and people asked over and over about
An error occured during the Backup : Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.
The only answer given was "its a database issue". It might be hard to understand but some of us dont have the knowledge to know where to look. Maybe a hint as to what we need to look at? What might be the problem or who to contact on our side.

You didnt read very hard then, its a server (permissions) error, not a "database issue".

I cannot fix your permissions, if you dont know how, then you either contact your host, or someone who can.

Fair enough. So what would I say when I call them? Not trying to be a smart ass I just know how it is when you call them.
My best guess is something about the permissions on there end? I 777ed everything, maybey it didnt take. I will try this. Thank you

The most common cause (if the folders are set to 777) is open_basdir restrictions, esp on servers running Plesk.

Dear Paul,

May i just clarify with you in your previous post that you stated that you will have only 7 folders & backups.

For example, if today is monday, the script will just overwrite the current existing monday file (belonging to the previous week)?

I am also a newbie.
How about doing a screenshot on this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=47 and tell your webhost that you also do want to change your folder settings to something similar like that?

That is correct.
