Does anyone know: How to overwrite the previous day's backup?

Also, the script doesn't seem to put anything in my backup folder and the path is set correctly ie 'home/ambro/public_html/vbulletin/backup/' so I'm lost and looking for ideas.

this hach is good but it needs upgrade

when

Anybody,

I have installed this hack and when I run it from the control panel it says that it was invoked with no errors and the log says that it wrote a file to the folder but when i go to the folder there is nothing there?? can anyone give me an idea what is wrong?

thanks

*installs*

Great mod! works perfectly =).

Hey brad, you think this same file will work for 3.5?

Sure would be nice if the author of this vbcron would update it for 3.5.x. I loved this thing.

The file works fine in 3.5x but logging is broken, change

It doesn't work, even with the change. It has something to do with the include at the beginning of the file.

I've played with it, but don't know enough about it to be able to fix it, unfortunately.

Hopefully I don't get reamed for this, but since this mod is so outdated, I figured I'd let you know about an alternative...I've written a similar tutorial that will get this done...which is actually not version or software dependent - so it will work on any software, any MySQL database for that matter...The current script will maintain a rolling copy of the latest 3 backups, but I plan to write more in the future that will save more backups and some that will give you the ability to run both daily and/or weekly and monthly backups...Anywho, you can find it here

I ported this exact hack to 3.5.4 with Brads permissions. You can find the 3.5.4 version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114097 :)
