Excellent works fine in 4.2! 5 stars rating mod

Can you help me find the right Backups Path ?

This one do not work ---> http://www.xxxxxxx.gr/backups/

Dude you don't "find" a backup path, you "create" a backup path.

Basically you create a folder on your server and you use that as your path.

So if you go with "backups/" as your path then you must create a folder on your server in the root directory called backups.

I was a little skeptical about this working without turning the forums off, but I've successfully restored the 1.5GB database (along with a copy of the filesystem) on to a local machine and it works perfectly so far.

Kudos for a great mod. This should be standard in vbulletin. I hit "nominate".

Also, sent you a chunk of paypal, so you should be good for beer for a while :)

This is the most important mod on the site.

Appreciated. Thx. :up:

Perfect mod, works like a dream, thank you. :) Nominated for MOTM. ;)

if can backup to a different host or server is excellent

Well you could in theory, if you setup a folder thats actually mapped to a networked drive (using NFS for example) then the backups could be directed to it.

I am using a freebie called FTPSYNCH to work in conjunction with this.

It FTP's from my PC into the website twice daily, just after the cron backups happen. (6am and 6pm) It synchs the local folder with that of the server's backup folder, effectively downloading just the sql backup created a few minutes earlier.

In addition to this, i have it doing a sql single file download once daily (overwriting every 7th day, for day of the week), so there's always a 7 day history in addition to what this add-on provides. I am only using this add on for a once weekly comprehensive backup, file by file. The twice daily ones are a single file done with a command line cron command.

There may be better ways, but this works for me :)
