I download my daily backup, and delete it right after I download.

In my experience, I figure I don't need more than one backup, so there is no reason to have a list of them piling up.

To restore a backup, use BigDump:

I have a few questions,

1) I am assuming no but im going to ask to make sure, Can you compress in gzip format?

2) I set my to backup every hour with date format Y-m-d-G but it creates another folder for each backup not really a big detail but I would prefer one folder for each day. Any possible way to do this?

3) Is there a way to automatically delete backups more than a week old?

4) For the exclude list for tables can you use wildcards like prefix_*?

Thanks

Hi,

1. No, tho I think someone posted some code to do this somewhere in the thread.

2. I use the format "l" (lowercase L) - this simply sets it to the day of the week, so you always have just 7 folders.

3. See 2.

4. Nope.

Paul i have this installed on my VB3 board but wanted to know if it would work with VB4 and if not, would you be able to make a version for VB4?

Thanks Paul! :)

Did search and just read through the entire thread no one has posted any code on how to gzip, or I just missed it, if someone finds it please like me know

I have no idea if it works with vb4 atm.

I suspect it probably will, since it doesnt rely on any templates or hooks.

I also expect there will be a vb4 version, when I have the time to look into it.

I tried it in VB4 and it did not work. This is the error message "An error occurred during backup"


I have installed this mod on two other boards so the setup was correct. I rechecked the directory and file permissions just to make sure which still did not work.

Thanks Paul. :)

Working fine in 4.0 just tested it. Had to remove minversion and maxversion in the xml to install.
