What is the preferred method for the most successful VB backups and restores, tables as single files, or all tables in a seperate files?

Installed and working a dream on Win2003 installation!

I use seperate files so I can easily restore just one table if necessary. For a full restore you can just join all the files into one.

Freaking Nice! Thanks for this MOD, I am feeling a lot better with this running daily!

:)

One thing that would be nice would be auto-deletion of backups after a certain length of time.

agreed! +1 On Auto Delete after certain length of time.

Hi!
First of all, thank you for the hack and for your great support.

Now to my problem.

I got this error:
The folder with the "date" is built in my backup folder but there is no sql file in it.

Help!

I have tried dozens of times to do backups manually, but I get the error that many are getting. What else can I do?

My backups folder is in the root. What I have, then, is something similar to this:

$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = '/home/sub/scxxxx/backups'; // Path to backups folder, with trailing slash

I have chmoded the folder to 777. I have tried disabling and enabling the product again. I have completely uninstalled it, only to install it again. I have moved the folder all over the place, changing the path appropriately, and still nothing. I followed SkyCatcher's suggestions in post 210, and still nothing. What else is there to do?

Thanks SO much! :)

This morning was the first automated one that happened, all went well, the only problem I had, or am having it did'nt turn the forums back on, I just realised now at 8am that the forums were still turned off after a 5am backup!

How can I check and ensure that does'nt happen again?

Look at what it says ;

Now look at the path you have entered and correct it. :)

Yip 2nd automated backup and I have to manually re-activate the forum using options, again the backup worked like a dream, but left the forum closed until I noticed it.

So this will be a critical issue for me to get solved.
