Just checked a backup and my custom avatars part is like this
Code:
/*!40000 ALTER TABLE `customavatar` DISABLE KEYS */; I dont get that if i use phpmyadmin to backup! |
It doesn't mean anything.
Open a GIF file in notepad and then ask again ;). |
lol, I know but this aint a gif file, and if i download from phpmyadmin the database dont show any of that....
Just wanting to make sure is all before i rely on it if ya know what i mean. I just didnt want to find out when i really need it and it was corrupt or sommat :( |
Excellent!!!
/me clicks install |
i have some problem. it works very good but when it tries to take post table`s backup, it stops. i changed timeout period but nothing changed. it doesn`t continue. so it doesn't take backups of tables after post table.
last taken table is Live-2006-09-21-post.sql |

There is nothing I can really tell you. Our post table is fractionally under 500MB and it backs up in just over 4 minutes. I can't see any reason you could not backup much larger tables. I can think your problem is server related, maybe your host can help you.
Edit: Are you running in safe mode, or on windows (IIS), they both can affect the timeout. Also, manually run the backup from the cron manager and see if you get a timeout error. |
safe_mode Off Off
and my hosting plan is linux. i started backup from cron manager, but i don`t get any message :( |
Ditto same, no safe and linux - the only one thing I could suspect is the hosting - they may have set a short execution time for PHP (?)
The manual backup also causes the same issue - it's something other than the software, but damn frustrating. Cheers, Jason |
Hi Paul M,
Thanks for the modification How can i run it manually to test it? Thanks and Regards, Saad |
Go to your Scheduled Task Manager in the ACP and run the cron job.

Hi,
It is giving me this error Database Backup An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.) Saad |
you must give full path for backup folder in mysqlbackupconfig.php.
like this /home/user/public_html/forum/databasebackup. after you give a permission mode 777 to this folder. After you can take backup. |
I did that :(
Saad |
Well you haven't got it right - that is a simple permissions error, your web server does not have write permissions to the folder you have pointed the backups at.

[QUOTE=Paul M]Folder Permissions - Look back a few posts (to post #55).
I chmodded my folder /httpsdocs/backup (no trailing backslash) to CHMOD 777 Any other ideas? |
Nope, it's a permissions error, only you (or your host) can fix them.

Processing poll : Total Rows = 24
Processing pollvote : Total Rows = 291 Processing post : Total Rows = 86239 it is cutting the process here. I changed my time out period like this max_execution_time 200 mysql.allow_persistent On On mysql.connect_timeout 600 600 mysql.default_host no value no value mysql.default_password no value no value mysql.default_port no value no value mysql.default_socket no value no value mysql.default_user no value no value mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited mysql.trace_mode Off Off I think i have a different problem. |
max_execution_time is set to 60 on our server, post has over 750,000 rows. Whatever your problem is, it's server related.
|
I've been testing with mine, it reaches around 13mb mark before stopping, I managed to trim some old tables from the database, but it still doesn't reach the end - max_exec time is set to 60 on my server too - this is just so damn frustrating, i realise this isn't your problem, I'm just so desperate to be able to make daily backups automatically!
Thanks, Jason |
Just did a short test on something; I used my phpMyAdmin to backup the database - it didn't complete it, cut off around the same place as it would with the VB Backup, then I used my host's version of phpMyAdmin which backed up it fully!!
Just for reference - my version backed up around 13mb, my hosts did a full 24mb..... |
Hello,
First I want to thank Paul M for this backup plugin, it's working very nice on my Windows server! Now I got a request, or question, well actually 2: I would like to compress (zip or rar) the folder containing the .sql files after the dumps have been completed. Plus I would like to keep a history of atleast 6 previous backups on the server (I don't have the posibility to FTP/move the files to another location), and that the script automatically deletes the oldest backup. Unfortunately I am unable to code this myself, is there anyone who can help me with this? |
I have a newbie question. I get the following error:
An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.) I have chommoded the folder to 777. Did I not input the config.php file correctly? here is what I have: DIR.'/home/sole/backups/ Is this correct? Thank you |
No, DIR is the path to your forums, you are then appending that with another full path, change it to just '/home/sole/backups/'
|
Good system to have, just lacks the Gzip option, which is a shame.
|
Paul thanks for the mod
i have small problem, when i started to back up it reach up to Processing posthash : Total Rows = 0 Processing postindex : Total Rows = 585217 then stops !!! any idea?? |
paul ... the problem solved :)
MySQL Backup was completed successfully with no errors. thanks again |
Glad you got it sorted, what did you do ?
Re timeouts in general (previous posts) - I'm pretty sure it's not a php timeout that is causing them to fail, I suspect some hosts have set timeouts on mysql queries and this is kicking in. |
with me every thing going fine now
you are right about some hosts to set timeouts i needs only to try it more than once befor it success ... mmmm i used the forumpath.php which comes with vbadvance to get the full path .... i got this error at the begining: MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.) then i made some modification on mysqlbackupconfig.php likr you said: changing this: PHP Code:
PHP Code:
ofcourse I have chommoded the folder to 777.... when ever it stops you just need to refresh the frame only to start again it works fine ... thank paul .... than you very much |
Thanks Paul.
I have installed this on a windows platform. No problems what so ever. Workes a treat. paidtoshop |
i'm getting this error;
Code:
Warning: include_once(/home/myfootba/public_html/./includes/cron/databack.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /weather/cronadmin.php on line 108 |
databack.php is not a file related to this modification, it belongs to something else.
|
ok that must have been another one, but with yours i get this error:
An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.) |
Works great! Is there an option to gzip the files?
|
Thanks nice mod

This hack is great and solves many things with some web hosting providers that gives you backup and restore by money.
Thanks :) |
