Check with your host - I would guess they have restrictions in place to stop you writing to folders outside of your web root (assuming that's what you mean).

Thank you for the reply. I am trying to write it to /admin/backups/ from my root, starting folder. I have been trying to do it by /../../admin/backups but nothing seems to work no matter how many dots or slashes I put.
I'n new at this so sorry If I don't make much sense. |
Ok sorry for the newb question but I have configured the mysqlbackupconfig.php and uploaded the xml file.. how do I adjust the timing of the back ups. I dont see anywhere this product in my Admin CP. How do I make the program run?
again sorry for the lame question, I am just now starting to figure Vb out. thank you |
Look in the admin cp under scheduled tasks and scheduled task manager. It should be called database backup. You can click edit for scheduling or click run now to see if it's working properly.

After two MySQL crashes in one week I was looking for a good backup solution and this does the job very nicely.
Between this hack and using WS_FTP's Synchronize utility I have a fresh backup on my local PC daily now. Eventually I'll do something to remove the old backups on the server but for now the solution is working nicely. (And, looking the backup size of each individual table, I spotted a few things that I don't think would've normally caught my attention. Things like a 2gb ModeratorLog table! :eek: ) |
I thought you might want to know that this version doesnt work with vbulletin 3.7.0 BETA 3
This isnt the only hack that doesnt work but i get this error... A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were: Bitfield Collision: credits_cantearn = prefixrequired |
Sorry but that error has nothing to do with this modification.

Paul,
For some reason this mod didn't run properly today. I started run for a while but never finish or end it. I set to close the forum when it back up, but 5 hours after it run the forum still close. So I when to task scheduler and run it manually it run ........ but then it never finish. Usually when it finish i going to say finish, with 0 error now it doesn't say that |
Everything was working fine since 16th dec. Until I noticed the forums stayed switched off for an unusual amount of time today. So I turned vB off, then on again to enable the forums. Ran the scheduled task manually and I got the following sql error and the forums got switched off and stayed off...
Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8: |
The error is pretty self explanatory - something (else) has locked the datastore table, preventing it being updated.
