Hi,
I have 4.0.4 and use UTF8.
My forums language id Arabic.

Attached is a screen shot of the database that was generated by "vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup"

When I take the backup via phpmyadmin, the text does not look funny like that!

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you actually tried to restore it ?

Emmm, when I restored it via phpmyadmin it looks fine!
Not sure how that is possible, but it worked.
Wow, that's great. Thanks. :)

Great mod. Should be a feature in VB i would have thought but either way great stuff.
Tested and working perfectly. And i am hosted at hostgator too. Although i am the reseller so not sure if thats why i have success and others have not.
But yea very good mod mate.

This looks nice but where exactly do I upload the files. The install instructions only say "upload to the server." Though I am unsure where in the vbulltin files to upload it.

If you unzip the files it should be obvious from the folder names.

where is run backup button vbulletin admincp?

admincp => scheduled task manager

What does the server need in order to support this?

Gzip installed. :)
