Wouldn't you use phpmyadmin SQL file it?

In general yes I use phpmyadmin.
Don't understand what you're asking here...

nice tool.. can you add option to put current date at the end of the filename ur backing up into? Also.. can there be option to dump and chose which tables to get from sql database as part of backup?

I get

Backup in progress... Please wait.

Backup Complete. Click here to download it.

After the download has finished, click here to attempt to delete the file.

but it ends in like 2secs then when i click download now i get

Not Found

The requested URL /admincp/sitebackup/*********.tgz was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.53 (Fedora) Server at forum.**********.com Port 80

uppin ???

NiTRoN: Date, I could but since the system is really designed to have backups done then moved off quickly, it's not top of the list. However it would provide a hard to guess (though easy to attack-crack) so it's not a bad idea... Database dump: Not planned to be honest. There is another hack that does it and I hear that has it's own issues.

Krumbz: Yes that's a "bug" I recently found. On a server I just switched to it think it's finished before it really has. Not really sure how to address that. If it really was "2 secs" then check the admincp/sitebackup folder is chmod'd to 0777.

All who are waiting for an update: Sorry, just got a new temp job and will be getting a new permanent job soon, lots of personal stuff so basically, an update could be a while if ever. If anyone wants to improve on it and release please do.

Does this work with 3.6.3??

I am just working on changing hosts, I allready have my site on the other host. But I will tranfer the data on Wednesday once I put the site to sleep for the time it takes the DNS tranfer to take place. Then I could just install backed up info..

It should work on any version of vb down to 3.5, maybe even 3.0

If it doesn't work it's very easy to remove so you have nothing to lose by trying it

Bairy the folder is already CHMODED...same thing, can you please tell me how to make it work from here, I really am VERY interested in your mod.

If it doesn't write the file then I can't help because I don't know much about web servers/linux etc. (as I stated in the first post).
If it does write the file but just notifies you too early then again, I don't know why so I can't help.
