Do not change that at all unless you understand what you are doing. Its a generic date format, not something you set to specific dates.

You cant, at least not with this mod.

Sorry, nothing new will be added to this.

one thing i want to ask its making new folders every time it runs so how can overwrite on the same backup ?

i dont know how to set the settings :(

i want a daily backup settings

You could do what I do and change the time format to this ;

This creates a folder for each day (i.e. Monday, Tuesday etc) and they get overwritten each week.

It runs daily by default.

dose it run daily at 4 every day then and can u make it run you're self to test it ??

You can run any vb cron via the schedules area of the ACP.

Ok I am completely new at this and do not know code at all. I know from reading these post that this is nothing new to you. However if you will humor my ignorance and give me some suggestions as to how to make this mod work it would be greatly appreciated. I set the path to:

// File Saving Information
$backup['DATE'] = 'Y-M-d'; // Backup file date format (See http://uk.php.net/date)
$backup['PREFIX'] = 'Forum-'; // Backup file prefix, applied to all files
$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = '/home/www.mywebsite.com/backups/'; // Path to backups folder, must have a trailing slash

This is the best I could interpret it from this thread. I loaded the includes folder into the home directory. When I ran the task I get an error message that reads this:


Automatic Database Backup for vBulletin 3.7

Warning: include_once([path]/./includes/cron/cronbackup.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 113

Can one of you please tell me what I need to do to correct this situation to make this work?:confused:

Thank you in advance:)

That is basically saying that the file cronbackup.php is not uploaded (to the correct place ?).

that I can fix can you tell me which file it should be in?

awsome worked a charm :)
