Love it, works like a charm

Peace

Will your script be ported over to vB 3.5?

It probably does work with vB 3.5.

Mine doesn't.

Ok, ok, I wasn't sure because I didn't test it...

Can i use it to backup everything from 3.07 to a totaly new database installed on a different server on a version 3.08 without facing any problems and everything is shifted from my 3.07 to my 3.08 ? "2 totally different servers, 2 totally different database"

This is such a great hack and an important hack too. MANY THANKS TO Trigunflame for making it! Unfortunately we can?t use it now because we are using 3.5, but hopefully it will be ported over soon (shouldn?t be that hard to do). This is such an important hack that it makes you wonder why it?s not part of vB software. Thanks again for all of your hard work Trigunflame http://www.emotipad.com/newemoticons/Big-Thumbs-Up.gif


PS-if a restore function is ever included, please make it possible to section off large databases for when we restore. Thank you.

Hi - I am getting hte following error:

Cronbackup


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ini_get_all() in /home/httpd/vhosts/yorkshire-divers.co.uk/httpdocs/forums/includes/mysqlbackup.php on line 1794

Any help please?

Regards

Jay

Solved - different version of vB

Cheers anyhow

Its listed as 3.07, will it work on 3.08 ?

Is this going to be ported to 3.5?

Will this work for 3.0.8?

Yes, it works in vB 3.0.8...

Has the email option been added yet ?

Didnt see it in the todo list

Your path is wrong for mysqldump i would guess as i just had the same problem

Mine is

$backup['MYSQLDUMP'] = '/home/MY_USER_NAME/public_html/mysqldump';

You can get the path from your phpinfo i believe

Seems to be working so far

One thing, my vB locks up (have lock db set to 1) but the

$backup['MESSAGE'] = "<p>Forum has automatically been shutdown
while database backup is in progress.</p>
<p>Forum will be restored momentarily.</p>";

Message doesnt display ?

Users just get a This page cannot be displayed standard IE error message ?

Don't lock the DB - that will prevent it being used and is not really necessary.

Ok but why dont i get the message text ?

Also i just run the backup

sql db >350mB

.tar.gz about 90 mb

It took over an hour to do the backup ?

Also i got this when i viewed the log

Suggestions ?

Thats an informational message - it means it tried to use the mysqldump command and failed, so it flipped to the secondary php method and backup successfully.

Why did it do this ?

What should i be looking for ?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Could you please name them?

That would be a great help. ;)

I would be glad to see a 3.5 version out there :D

great
:)
I will try

read tru a lot... is there anything stating how this works under 3.0.3?
Thank you

It should work fine in 3.0.3

I saw a post where it works in v 3.0.8 But, will it work in v 3.0.9 I would think that it would. Thought I would ask to make sure. Thanks.

Can we expect a 3.5 version of this hack?

Hello,

I too just came to this thread to see if there was any info on a 3.5 release. lol

Don't think there is a vB3.5 release :(

Please update to 3.5 ;)

This is causing huge problems when it backs up my 40mb (gzipped - 250mb non) database. It causes the whole vps to lock-up and the server needs restarting.

Any ideas about this?

If you are using vB 3.5.0, just use the included shell script and add it to the cron. I just found out about that yesterday and it works nicely :)

Can you explain...........Please

Hey, where is the script supposed to be uploaded to? I can't find any info or instructions on it ... does it need to be outside the main site? permissions set a certain way?

I just uploaded mine to my home directory. You need to open it in like wordpad or something and edit the path to your vBulletin config file.

Im also dying to get this working on my forum.

Where is this "included shell script" located? As others were asking.

It's in vB's do_not_upload folder.

The backup it creates is not of much use if the server go down or breaks, The whole great part of "VBulletin Database Backup Pro" was I have mine being ftp'd off to a remote site nightly as well as storing locally so no matter what happened My database was safe, at the moment I am having to do it manually but we all know slackness takes over and it doenst get done and that of course if when you have a failure. :(

Thanks for this works great.....I ran the task and get this message, "failover initiated, but backup was done successfully"

I check the directory of the backup and its there........any ideas as to why I get this message?

I'd really like to see some attention on a full port over to 3.5G. This is one of the most important add-ons I can think of.
