Hey, Paul.. I would like to know one thing. I've added a new folder called f_backups on my site root. I want to redirect there all my backup files. Now, my question(s) is(are): wich is the path I have to put on the mysqlbackupconfig.php file? ./f_backup? Will be that folder secure, on my server? I mean.. I want that only accesible by me..

Hi Paul,

I've been using this mod for a long time and it's saved my butt more than once. I'm having the same problem with it not turning the forums back on after backup. I've set it to NOT turn them off for now, but thought you would like to know.

Quick question: This mod is the "Lite" version. Is there another version?

BTW, I'd love to see the mod expanded to automatically delete backups that are X days old.

Thanks for the awesome work! :)

There are no other versions, the "lite" is just an historic name from the 3.0 > 3.5 conversion.

As I'm sure I've said a number of times, I didn't write this, just converted it, and the way it closes/opens the forums is not ideal. One day I may change it, but not for now, its a low priority mod for me as it does what I need it to do. For the same reason it's unlikely that any new features will get added anytime soon.

I'm getting the same error and I've set the directory that the backups are to go into at 777 already, so I'm at a loss as to what permissions we are talking about here.

thanks to this mod... but the problem is, when i used this mod, it cause too much bytes rather than manual backup of my forum using ssh..

for example..

if i use ssh/remote backup, its only 500mb+, in this mod now its 1GB+

Probably open_basdir restrictions.

Not sure what that is. :( Where would I find the open_basedir?

Thanks

open_basedir restrictions are part of how php is set-up, speak to your host to find out what they may be on your set-up.

Can you help me, Paul M?

Not really, I cannot answer server specific questions as I have no idea how you are set-up.
