Hi
I have had this working happily until I moved the forum to a virtual private server over the weekend. I now find there are no backups being created anymore.

Am I right in thinking that there was an option to create a backup immediately to allow me to test the settings???

I thought there was but I can't find it.

I have found the full path to my forum is along the lines of /var/www/vhosts/forum name/httpdocs/backups/ but it still doesn't make a backup.

I get no errors but I am sure there was a create backup now button.

Just use the run now option in the Scheduled Task manager.

Thanks Paul

I knew the option was there somewhere :-)

Actually the path was correct. It seems the folder permissions had managed to change themselves in the move over to the new server.

Not sure how that happens.......

All working nicely again.
Many thanks.

Done

I installed it on vBulletin v4.1.8, but how do I create my first backup? (sorry for the n00b question)

Is it even compatible with 4.1.8?

I works with any 4.1.x

The backup is run automatically by the vb cron system.
If you want to manually test it see post #542 above.

worked fine thank you

I created a folder in my forums directory name: backups

and I put the setting in the plugin to backups/

Not a good place to have it as that makes your backups available to almost anyone. The best place for the backups folder is in the same folder as public_html. Then use the following for the path:

If you can't do that, then at least password-protect the folder via htaccess.

Thanks Tom, another awesome mod.
