I get this when trying to write the backup.

Automatic Database Backup for vBulletin

Backup Error : Could not write to destination file ( ../../backups/2013-06-01/Forum-2013-06-01-Vb_access.sql )
Permissions seem fine to me.

Your web server doesnt have permission to write the files.

Paul you are a God dude! Thank You So Much this is going to save people's bottoms without a doubt and if I would have found it last week it would have definitely would have helped me out last night, VB support Trevor is a very nice guy but how many of us have SSH access to our servers?

I installed this mod today and then added in a few extra steps

Using this to set up the passwords for SSH/RSYNC:

I then set up a script to run in a cron job every day to take the output from this mod (the SQL database backup) as well as grabbing my two other SQL databases (currently a wordpress and vb5 testing install, both of which are tiny) and doing a full rsync of the public_html directory which ends up looking something like this:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Setup Filename & Date
NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
FILE1="$NOW.wordpress.sql"
FILE1Z="$NOW.wordpress.sql.tar.gz"
FILE2="$NOW.vb5test.sql"
FILE2Z="$NOW.vb5test.sql.tar.gz"

# Move to directory
cd /home/USERFOLDER/backup

# Dump SQL databases
mysqldump -pPASSWORD -u SQLUSER SQLWORDPRESSDATABASE > $FILE1
mysqldump -pPASSWORD -u SQLUSER SQLVBULLETINDATABASE > $FILE2

# Compress Files
tar -pczf $FILE1Z /home/USERFOLDER/backup/$FILE1
tar -pczf $FILE2Z /home/USERFOLDER/backup/$FILE2

# Delete Backups
rm -rf /home/USERFOLDER/backup/$FILE1
rm -rf /home/USERFOLDER/backup/$FILE2

# Sync SQL Files
rsync -avz /home/USERFOLDER/backup/ USER@IPADDRESS:~/backupfolder/sql_backups/

# Move to directory
cd /home/USERFOLDER/backup

# Delete SQL Backups from local server (Forum* covers all outputs from this mod as I have used the prefix)
rm -rf Forum*
rm -rf /home/USERFOLDER/backup/$FILE1Z
rm -rf /home/USERFOLDER/backup/$FILE2Z

# Sync public_html Folder
rsync -avz /home/USERFOLDER/public_html/ USER@IPADDRESS:~/backupfolder/public_html/
My cron job looks like this:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/backup.sh >> /home/USERFOLDER/backup/backup.log 2>&1


This script is a little dirty and could be cleaned up a little, but it does work and it give me pretty much a full backup of my system for later use. Any comments are welcome.

How do i solve this sir?

Paul M 06-14-2013 11:27 PM
Fix the permissions :)

If you dont know how to do that yourself, ask someone who does, or speak to your host about how to do it.

Paul this mod is just awesome and working fine for me.
I want to know if u can add password encryption for backups to this mod ?
if server or shared hosting get hacked bad guys can have access to database but they cant do this if database backups are encrypted with good password.
Thank You

I installed this and could someone please tell me if I created a folder "backups" right outside of my public_html folder... where all do I enter this and how exactly do I type it in? I also selected in the task manager the vbulletin option from the drop down menu... is that correct from what I have read? I have a new forum and when I run it, it just says "done" immediately, but then I don't see a file anywhere. Should I be doing this as one file also? I have no idea what I am doing!
