Thankyou SOOOO much. :)

Any reason why it runs 15+ backups when it runs? Seems that when it does the backup it does it 15+ times in a row! The entry was put in exactly how your readme said.

Hi there

Gread addon to the vbulletin installed it like 2 mins ago
and all works just fine no problems.
Thanks for this great work

The config file says:

" Delete Local Backup
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here decides whether or not you would like to delete the
local version of the backup after you have transfered it.
By default this will be 0, but if you still want to do it,
just select 1 and it will leave your local backup in place."

so does this mean that leaving it the default 0 will delete the local copy of the backup? Isn't 1 usually mean "on"?

When it does backups it sometimes keeps the forum shut and i have to open it when i get up in the morning. Has this happened to anyone else?

Is it possible to run this in slow time to stop the server from timing out. When i'm doing a back-up i get the error, "cannot find server" when trying to go onto my site. Is there a way around this?

Nope works fine for me.

my host just put us on a dedicated server and now i'm having some trouble with the cron backup. i'm using php version 4.4.0, mysql Client API version 4.1.11, and the errori'm getting is

"Backup

Failover was initiated for MySQLDump Binary & An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing. (backups2/08_06_05.sql))"

i've already checked all of the backup host/username/password/dbname settings and my host has confirmed all of these settings also. does anyone know what the issue might be?

thanks advanced,
warren

Be sure to have the proper permissions for the destination directory. It seems you don't have write permission in "backups2".

Hello,
I have used this system a few times before and I am getting this error:
I have created a folder "backups" (public_html/backups/) on my remote server and chmodded it to 0777. I also have put a "backups" folder both in my /public_html/ main directory as well as in the forums directory. Both of which are chmodded to 0777.

Any idea why I am still getting this error?

Thanks,
Mike
