i want to make a everyday at 20:00 autobackup..
how can i do that?

please can anyone show me that in a pic?

change Stunde to 20... unless your server time is offset, then you'll need to adjust for that.

Every week I let this mod make a backup of the database, and every week I get this error in my mailbox:

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.3:

Invalid SQL:

INSERT INTO papegaaienforum_cronlog

What can I do about it exept for disabling this mod?

You can just ignore it. Its only the logging of the cron run after backup completion.

I would guess your mysql timeout is quite small and its timing out before the log command can be run (are you using the gzip option ?).

Ok, thank you.

Yes, I do use that, because the database is about 1.5 Gb. (350Mb with gzip)

Thats why then - the Gzip is taking longer than your mysql timeout.

So this should work correctly, or should i make a new folder.?
example.com/folder/_db_backups



*edit*


I created this folder but still get the error.?
I beleive it is write-able... see image.

Installed and works like a charm!
Thanks Paul!!

I cannot really answer server specific questions as few servers are exactly the same.

Server specific..!?

I know you obviously don't know what my folders are named, but i'm asking if anything looks wrong to you as far as folder structure & if it looks writable (see image)

I'm just trying to get it to work, like everyone else.
Thanks
