<a href="http://www.razael-central.com/forums/admin/backup/1019329010.sql.gz" target="_blank">http://www.razael-central.com/forums...9329010.sql.gz</a>

in variable declaration , did you forget to put a / at the end in download url?

If you have a look to you forum via ftp, where is the sql.gz file saved to?

in admin folder?

It's not saved anywhere I don't think...

Yeah I don't see it anywhere...like it's not even saving..

please try to put the exact url to the root path:

root/forums/admin/backup

o_O

Is what I have not right?

Edit: K, me and Birdie501 worked it out over pm's. Great hack!

great hack

when doing the restore i had a problem but the name you specified to rename the db was wrong it should be backup.sql.gz
not backp.sql.gz

Great hack though

When i click on the do backup, it progress's to the next screen as normal, but when i goto rename the file to backp.sql.gz there is no such file on the server, i have followed the included instructions, share any light on this buddy ?

Simply Sweet!!
