Hi,
what i do for set setting vb Backup?
Time,data and ... . ?

Very good master:) Thanks for hack

Thanks for this, just installed.

I was wondering, does it delete backups after a certain period of time? Or does it continually create backup and you need to manually delete them?

Thanks :)

It does not delete backups (unless they are the same name as the new one its creating, in which case it will overwrite).

Thanks you for the reply Paul. :)

Thanks Paul!

anyone know the path to outside public html? i have errors cannot write file, i have set the backups dir to > home/mysitecom/backups and set the chmod to 777

its usually better to use a relative path, like ../../backups/

ahh right thanks, thats 'backups' within public html? - well ok then :)

i should of used outside pub_html to save space... its not writing a file for me whatever dir i try or do... should of worked the first time, i'll read through this thread and see if i can find a solutions, cheers

EDIT, the solution for me was to write these databases outside of public_html, security and space saving...

The people having problems are forgetting the forward slash

/home/mysitecom/backups/

cheers

one last thing... to make it perfect this hack should gzip the output file and maybe have a setting to keep backups for a defined time period, say...going back 3 weeks or 2 days or whatever :)

cheers
