Hi Paul,

i found what the problem was :D

my server was running in Safe Mode,
i've mailed my Hosting company and they putted it off,

now it works like a charm :-)

thanks for the support !

Hm.....well the forum doesnt come back on. Same prob that other guy is having. I have yet to attempt to imiport the database to see if I get any errors, but it looks as if it got backed up ok. I see the whole big 2GB file right there.

Ill let you know what I find, if I find anything. Im not real good at this linux stuff.

Hm....yeah Im not understanding why it doesnt turn the forum back on. I let it go with the option to not turn off forum and to lock tables. My site comes unavailable for about 30 minutes......but.....the backup seems to go fine...and the site comes back up fine too.

:shrugs:

If you lock the tables then the site will be unavailable as vb will be unable to perform any database updates.

Love this hack, works very well
Just a question, has anyone managed to add FTP functionality to it?
I have a remote storage space account, which I use for offsite file backups, so having the database ftp'd to another server, would be awesome

I am getting the following error now:

Warning: is_file() [function.is-file]: Stat failed for /home/username/backups/06-09-2007 (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /includes/mysqlbackup.php on line 225

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Stat failed for /home/username/backups/06-09-2007 (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /includes/mysqlbackup.php on line 260

An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

I have not seen these errors anywhere in this thread (except for the "error occured during.." one). Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

My first guess would be the directory is write-protected, i.e., you have to set the permissions to 777 or 666.

Am.....

MAZING!

After months of trying, it finally works! Yes! Thank you!

Ah, how amazing it is to finally have a good host. :)

I got a php friend of mine to modify this to send the backups to a remote server
Would it be ok to post the modifications here?
