Hi Paul,

A few questions. Currently, I have one .sql per table. How would I change this? Also, what would you recommend: One file named the same each time so that it is overwritten, or one .sql per table. Personally, I think if you should ever need to restore a backup, then one .sql per table is possibly better, since you may only need to restore a certain table, ect.

Oh, as mine currently is, one .sql per table, I usually delete one or two backups after a few days and save usually three, but when I delete them, I ALWAYS optimize the tables afterwards. Is this needed or not?

You change it in the config file.

I have one file per table, you can always join them together later if needed.

You rarely need to optimize tables.

Ok, thanks for your reply Paul, much appreciated. :)

just installed it and it worked fine by pressing run now, i have the following questions:

1- Cron didn't start as scheduled, i put day of week to * and day of month to * and hour to 4AM, so this should backup the DB everyday at 4AM, one day passed with no backup. is there anything else i have to do?

2- which is better backup up DB on one file, or have it Table by Table?

3- I've never done restore so far, so how and what is the fastest way to restore DB?

Thanks Paul for this great Mod.

Thanks for posting this thread. It's always good to have more than one option.

No one ever answered seangworld, and I pretty much have the same question.

How is this better than the backup in the acp?

I've installed this mod on a forum of mine, it has worked well so I decided to install it on another. I'm getting this error though:

Running IIS on Windows 2003, any suggestions?

Correct the error you have made editing the file.

Automatic Database Backup for vBulletin 3.7
An error occured during the Backup : Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.

what can I do?

I have a little problem here.

Sometimes when i use option - close board due to backup, board will not automaticaly open after process.

Today i just disabled it because morning backup failed. My database is very small about 23mb, when i making backup - manualy using this product - process stops at one of the tables polls f.e and its stucked....

Any ideas? From today everything was ok.
