vB Database Backup Pro - Convert to run on vB3.5
 

When vb 3.5 first came out I was using this backup system on my 3.0 - and having nothing better to use - I converted it to work on vb 3.5.

Since then I have seen numerous requests for a 3.5 version, and even sent my working version to the guy who apparently bought the rights to it in January. So far no new version has ever been released, though I believe Trigunflame is working on a completely new system.

I cannot (afaik) just release my version, as most of the code is still the original, therefore I have spent a few hours today detailing the (smallish) changes I made in order to make this work, and am now releaseing them as an Add-On to the original hack.

Please note that I do not use the ftp function, zipping function, or the mysqldump option, so i have no idea if they work or not. Also, no existing bugs are fixed.

Unless I missed out an actual conversion step then this is offered as is.

I will not add anything new, or spend any time supporting it. This is done simply to allow people to use the old hack on 3.5 until a new [proper] version is supplied by the relevant people.




History:

v1.6 : Missing elements added.

first to install :)

Second Install :D

Great Paul ;)

woohoo! thank you!

installed

FYI, the very final step had it's final closing bracket missing, make sure you add it. The file has now been corrected.

ummm, I'm getting this when I run the cron manually, any ideas??
I'm going back through the cfgs again to see if I missed anything, but I don't think I did

A very big thank !

Try setting the lock options to "0" in the config file, you don't really need them.

Thank you A LOT for this port, I was waiting for it for a long time :)

I've got the same problem than Codeman05 ; even after having set : $backup['LOCKTABLES'] = 0;
