I have used the backups a number of times, so I have no idea what your issue was (since you dont actually give any clue, I cant even guess).

The only clue that I can give you is when I tried to restore your backup, everything
was disorted, everything was out of place...I tried 3 different backups that
your mod created, same result, I restored my manual backup, everything was fine.

this is of pretty big concern, would you provide Paul a copy of your backup to look at to see what the differences are?
Or I could if we don't hear back or onehost doesn't want to...

Any idea why this makes my server become unresponsive?
Whenever it runs a loooooot of new mysql process gets created and the same happens with apache..
Is there some way to limit the script to not use all system resources or something.. cause it's really annoying :(
(But anyway I love the script as it's reaaaaaaaly useful!)

where does it get saved to? what folder?

Wherever you set it.

Paul,

I have been using this hack for last 6 months.
I have database corruption. I am trying to restore from the backup created yesterday.
I have database connection error. I am not sure how I should fix it.

The only recent backups I have are taken using this hack. All other backups are more than 6 months old. I have a busy forum with more than 30,000 members.

Please suggest a solution ?

A solution to what exactly ?

What do you mean by "database corruption" ?

Also, I cannot tell you how to fix mysql conection errors on your server, you need to speak to your host. That is a server/mysql issue, not a vbulletin or database problem.

Paul,

For a moment I was wondering if there was a problem with this hack. Sorry about it.

Everything is fine. Couple of tables got corrupted. I don't know how.
So the last backup was not good. Backup taken a day before was good.

Thanks for your hack. Backup created by your hack was good and we used that restore everything.

Paul,
I recently received an e-mail from my host telling me that I can not use the database for storing files. The files they pointed out to me were some database backups that had been done a while ago, which is fine because I want to replace them every week. What date format should I use so that every week I have a new set of backups replacing the old ones? Would 'D' work?
