it works for me very well...i had little issues with it but nothing that could not be solved with patience
10x

Thanks. :)

got a few questions:
where can I edit the settings?
where does the backup go to?

1. In the settings file

2. Wherever to set it, see Q1.

thanks installed and works

I had the sql issue, but my path was wrong in the config file, once I put the path in, it worked like a dream on 3.8.2, thanks.

I'm having the timeout issue. Backup stops around table "template" or "thread". Any suggestions? I'm on godaddy. I had the write error issue, too. I simply changed
$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = '../../backups/'; to
$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = './backups/';
and it worked just fine. Also change the date to small L and that works just fine, too. Thanks!

P.S. I'd love for this to work... I'm getting real tired of running mysqladmin backups! :D

Decades ? :)

I'll be happy if I'm still alive in decades to come :D

Thanks for doing this, Paul. :)

The instructions were simple enough even for a ROOKIE like me. :)

Question:

I followed instructions and uploaded the XML file.

Now what?

Is there something I need to run?

I see "Alter the cron job to suit"

not sure how I do that.

Is there some sort of .exe file I run to make sure I start backing up my DB?

And I'm guessing this is only for vbulletin, yes? Won't work with photopost pro...?

Thanks again!

Paul, when I run it... I get the following error:

An error occured during the Backup : Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.

I've checked permissions and have tried various paths.
