No, Just upload vb_backup.sh. This hack doesn't work with 3.5. I just setup a cron job in cPanel to run vb_backup.sh once a day...

oh lol.

He also said he was going to make a restore hack, but I dont see that finished, so It will be a while b4 this gets to 3.5 i think...but i would love this to be 3.5 and also a really good restore hack that can be done from the admincp

I wonder where he went lol. He hasn't been on for a few months :(

perhaps one or more of you advanced coders could take this hack over and complete the restore feature

just a thought cuz this work is nice

Well I got fed up of waiting so I modified it [locally] to work on 3.5, and added an extra feature I wanted as well (backup all tables except those in a given list). Unfortunately, since it's still over 95% Trigunflames code, it's not possible for me to make it available.

However, I have attempted to contact the Author to see what plans he has for this, and if that's none, to see if he will give permission for me to make my 3.5 version available. If he plans to convert it himself then all well and good, but, if he does not reply, or does not give permission, then I guess there's not much I can do.

Let's hope that he understands and everything works out for the best :nervous:

I guess you are still waiting for a response. I hope the response is a good one. This hack proved invaluable in the past and in my opinion is a must for any board.

I guess this may not end up getting ported to 3.5.x. What a shame as it is a great hack and it shoud be a standard part of VB.

No response at all.
