I download my daily backup, and delete it right after I download.

In my experience, I figure I don't need more than one backup, so there is no reason to have a list of them piling up.

I have a question, sorry if this is answered but I didn't see nothing about that in the first page.

This plugin make a backup, good, but if I did it a backup (without this plugin) and I want to upload this backup, I can use this for that? or this is only to make backups?

Thanks and sry if I writed something wrong, my english isn't perfect.

To restore a backup, use BigDump:

I have a few questions,

1) I am assuming no but im going to ask to make sure, Can you compress in gzip format?

2) I set my to backup every hour with date format Y-m-d-G but it creates another folder for each backup not really a big detail but I would prefer one folder for each day. Any possible way to do this?

3) Is there a way to automatically delete backups more than a week old?

4) For the exclude list for tables can you use wildcards like prefix_*?

Thanks

Hi,

1. No, tho I think someone posted some code to do this somewhere in the thread.

2. I use the format "l" (lowercase L) - this simply sets it to the day of the week, so you always have just 7 folders.

3. See 2.

4. Nope.

Did search and just read through the entire thread no one has posted any code on how to gzip, or I just missed it, if someone finds it please like me know

I have no idea if it works with vb4 atm.

I suspect it probably will, since it doesnt rely on any templates or hooks.

I also expect there will be a vb4 version, when I have the time to look into it.

I tried it in VB4 and it did not work. This is the error message "An error occurred during backup"

I have installed this mod on two other boards so the setup was correct. I rechecked the directory and file permissions just to make sure which still did not work.

Thanks Paul. :)

Working fine in 4.0 just tested it. Had to remove minversion and maxversion in the xml to install.

I can't seem to get this to work. When I click 'Run Now' I don't get an error code, I just get the following message:

I'm not sure what's wrong. Do you think you can help?
Thanks in advanced. :D

Paul M

12-01-2009 10:58 AM

That message doesnt really help. 99% of problems are write permission errors on the folder.

You need to set the path correctly
/home/user/backups/
Thats how i have mine set, i get backups everyday.
Works great. MAKE SURE its in the same place as public_html
Needs to be CHMODDED to 777.

That did it! I had the directory wrong. Thanks a ton! This is a GREAT mod.

Does it affect larger vbulletin boards? As i have to back mine up using shell as PHP and MYSQL keeps breaking the connection because of a larger information that my board holds and also photos too.

Waiting for a reply and many thanks in advance.

Paul M

12-02-2009 11:46 AM

Define "Larger".

This works in vB 4. You have to go into the product XML file and remove the minversion and maxversion fields.

Change lines 10-12 in the XML file from this:

Code:

        <dependencies>

                <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.8.0" maxversion="3.8.99" />

        </dependencies>

to this:

Code:

        <dependencies>

                <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" />

        </dependencies>

After doing that, you should be able to import it just fine.

Great work, so installed. Seems to work fine, the only long part is actually downloading the backup from the server my site is actually on.

Paul this thread is Supported i think . maybe u can edit thread and make it Unsupported thanks

Paul M

01-15-2010 08:04 AM

Nope, Im not editing it.

However, I do not support server level errors (for example permissions).

In this case I dont understand what your actual problem is.

in last few days , it wont finish the backup . so forum would be closed until i came online and run it via Cpanel !

Any idea what should i check and fix ?

Thanks

p.s. i have my own dedi

Paul M

01-19-2010 11:26 AM

Run it manually and see what happens.

As for the closed option - turn that off - its not always reliable, and has been removed in the 4.0 version.

Empty backup file...

I already read through the whole thread to get this Mod running on my forum, before asking.

When run manually:

Quote:

Automatic Database Backup for vBulletin
An error occured during the Backup :

It's neither a backup folder path problem nor a write permission problem, since the [date] folder is created and the backup file inside is created as well. The backup file is empty, however (size= 1 byte).

My vb version is 3.8.4 PL2

Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Paul M

01-19-2010 07:35 PM

I have no idea - there is no error message which is strange in itself. Without admin/ftp access there is nothing I can tell you.

Ok Paul i change server now is work fine, but i not create folder the folder created his /home/user

Paul M

Sorry, Im not sure what your asking. The folder can be any name you want.

i'm not getting this...

InnoDB Tables
Set to yes if you have any innodb tables
...care to explain this pls.

million thanks Paul M

;)

Thanks a lot! Fixed my problem!
Guys, if you get the "An error occured during the Backup:" message and no error description whatsoever, them try changing ../../backups/ to ././backups/

Paul I think you should definitely add this to the description.
Thanks for the hack!

Paul M

02-01-2010 10:04 AM

The path is entirely down to your server and personal set-up, I cannot add that to the description.

You should note that ././backups/ is the same as ./backups/ and means the backup folder is within your publicly available website - which means anyone can potentially access your backups.

That is a server issue, your php is set to a 30 second limit.

All times are GMT. The time now is 07:32 AM.
