I am getting this in install:
Back Up Run

Failover was initiated for MySQLDump Binary & An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing. (forumbackups/01_22_06.sql))


Whats up, ive tried all sorts of folders and also made them chmod to 777

any help appreciated

all sorted, went away and came back an the error was obvious.... just goes to show...

Sorry about all the problems people; I have been away for nearly 6 months in college and working part time.

I am going to start working on the remake of this script for vb3 and 3.5 that should address almost all of the problem inherent to this version including timeouts on Very Large Databases as well as plenty of new features such as SFTP and other protocol supports.

Sorry for all the time I havnt been able to keep this updated, but unfortunately other priorities had taken over my time.

Good to hear! :)

I'm just a little confused. How does your post fit in with this ?

Because he owns right to that version.

The new version is made from scratch using none of the pre-existing codebase; of which Zoints has no copyright of; also it goes under a new Project name Vbulletin Backup Pro as it will do more than simply backup Databases, it will be an entire Forum/Site archiving tool.

Any more news on the 3.5 port?

In 5 days??? Geez, that's a big project there is no way it will be accomplished in 5, 10 or 15 days!

Ya, progress IS being made. If you looked in the 3.5 section Ive already created 1 new Hack (Plugin Accelerator) and ported 2 others; so this hack is in the queue to be "remade" and ported to 3.5 (and it will be backwards compatible with vb 3.0.x)

Are you talking to me? I wasn't the one who asked about progress :confused:

You were commenting on how long it would take, i was simply being informative.

Cant wait to see it

That's good news, thanks. I'm looking forward to this one :)

Me too, I cant wait I really really need this!

I'm thrilled to see this is being worked on for 3.5. I can't wait. This is desperately needed.

Totally agree!

Either Dchapman or Trigunflame:

Any progress on this from either of you? This is so desperately needed, that I'm sure everyone would be thrilled if either version came out.

OK ! just a quick question is this only to backup the database or both the database and structure too ? I mean once created a backup and in case of new server everything will be back sturcturevise with users topics subtopics and all the contents.

kind regards

I agree. I know its a hard one you its going to take a while, its such a great hack and it is hard to wait. Let us know if you guys are getting near it. Thanks so much!

Sorry guys, if you monitor vbulletin 3.5 hacks you would know ive been working on several projects simulataneously recently.. around 6 at the moment.

But dont fret this IS on my todo list.

Your a good man :)

Very nice your hack :), but when adaptation for vB3.5 ?

Hi, i run 3.0.13 and installed this hack today, unfortunately, when i hit "run now" button in scheduled tasks manager page, i get this message:

Could not fetch database options. Shutting backup down.

Any clue why is that?

anybody?

It failed to read your database - have you actually set the correct database/user/password in the hacks config file ?

I surely did that, i just doublechecked that and it seems to be correct

Well the fact remains that it is unable to read your database (the datastore table), so I suggest you check the values you have put against your vb config file.

I checked them once again, they are identical on both, vb config.php file and mysqlbackupconfig.php

Then I cannot help you.

The problem is that it is trying to read the options from your datastore table and failing, so it gives up.

ok, i'll need to uninstall it.
thanks for help

This is a weird problem that happened very rarely, im pretty sure it has to do with the way it was reading the database.

The new version should fix a lot of these issues, I am working on it.. slowly but surely.

And we are patiently waiting for you to finish =)

Yep Yep

^^^^^^

I am having an issue with my backups.. I get the following message:

I know that this means that it failed over to the php backup but my problem is it's not comining the tables to one sql file or compressing it? I have the settings configured to do this but I have had no luck?!?!

Any news on the version for 3.5?

Anything? I am willing to pay if need be

As listed in the add-ons section in the main post.

Feel free to donate ;)

I tried running the script from the vbulletin cron manager manually and it just went into an endless loop. I had to delete the script files to stop it from generating the same files again and again. Now I have a few files in the backups\"date" directory that I cannot remove (eg .pureftpd-rename.15338.f2d9f751)
