Well i can't get it to work, set path to ././backups it fails after.

Just changed servers and the file path has to be changed. Where do I make the adjustment for that?

Should be in your vBulletin options..

I must be looking in the wrong place. Where in the vBulletin options should I look?

Dear Paul M, do you know how I can fix the timeout error?

thank u

Speak to your host, I cant help with individual server set-ups im afraid.

Wow thank you Paul M! I talked to them and they assisted me to use cpanel cron jobs haha, now no more timeout errors! They said it timed out because of the 30second limit in PHP. Now with cron job though cpanel, no more timeouts!

Thank you for all the help and advice,
and the lovely product,

I now also have timeouts problem with only 203 tables. It's strange because it worked before but not anymore? It just started recently to give me problems without completing the backup fully, missing the last tables in the database. What exactly do I have to look into my php.ini values in order to find out about the timeout value? What is a good value for timeout? Is there a setting we can adjust in the hack files about timeouts?

The modification sets the timeout to 3600 (ie 1 hour). However, I believe this may be overridden by any "max_execution_time" setting in your php.ini file. The modification will most likely also timeout in safe mode.
