Figures... How do I unlock it? I mean, if I manually run the task, it shouldn't be any different to a scheduled run correct? When ever I manually run the script the datastore is always locked. So I would assume it is or has been permanently locked. How would I remedy this?

Thanks Paul.

This mod kinda ruins your skins, I noticed that after a few restores so if you had this problem, don't worry, just rebuild your styles on the "Update counters" and rebuild your styles and everything will be fine

Paul, is there any way to run this mod more than one time a day? If so, can you guide me please?

There is no way I can tell you what is locking it. Something has a read lock, the message is a bit odd to me because normally I would expect mysql to just queue the write, and process it when the read lock has gone.

This mod cannot effect skins as such, its read only. My guess is you store your css in files so you need to rebuild those files after a restore.

You can run it as often as a VB cron will allow (hourly if you want). However you will need to change the Time setting in the config so that the files have a unique timestamp, otherwise each run will overwrite the previous.

I have moved folders around on my server and all the files and folders are set to 705. I'm sure it has to be 755 or something? Could this be the cause?

Fixed: incorrect dump path in mysqlbackupconfig.php

I have a strange problem with this hack. Each morning after this runs, the hover preview does not work (when you hover over a thread name and get a preview of the thread). Any clue what this might be conflicting with? thanks.

There is no way this could have any effect on that.

I thought it odd as well but disabled it and didn't have the problem anymore. After a week or so I enabled it again last night and this morning had the same issue. ?

Excelent mod. Installed. Thank you Paul. Regards.

So how do you fix it ?
