I found about 40gigs of backups for everyday for the last year. Is there any way to delete them automatically after a few days?

When I attempt to 'import' a database through shell.. Used this cron to make a backup. The duplicate entry errors, getting tons of them... And with tons, I mean thousands (and more). Importing it into an empty database. What exactly is wrong?

EDIT:

There's more...

Under options:
Combine Files set to: Yes
Date Format enter: D
GZip Files: Yes

This will save your backups like this:
Prefix-Mon-Full-Backup.sql.gz
Prefix-Tue-Full-Backup.sql.gz


....this way you will only have 7 daily backups (one for each day of the week) that will overwrite each other the following week.

Paul M, I can't tell you how many times this mod has saved my butt. The backups work perfectly with bigdump. I just wanted to say thank you.

Hi,

I installed Auto-Backup for Vbulletin 4.2.2 patch level 1 but that doesn't work. When I start instant backup this message error appears :

Backup Error : Could not write to destination file ( ../../backups/wmp-2014-05-28-Full-Backup.sql )

You can see my configuration on there screnshots :

Check your file permissions. Usually that folder has to be set to chmod 777 so it can be written to. Either that or your file path is wrong. And you do not need to put the name of the file in the file path if that is what you did..

Go into Vbulletin under maintanance, phpinfo and get your path there. Yours is wrong.

The visible path was not good. Thank you very much RitichieBoy67.

My pleasure. :)

You need to update to the latest version (4.2.0.2).
