Easiest way to back up VB4 database
 

Am i right to say that the database backup option is not available via admincp in VB4?

in ver3.8.4, i'm used to do backup via admincp

this is the other options that's available ( thanks to this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=227933 )

however, they only backup the databases, not the template files, plugins or other modifications.

In joomla, there's joomlabackup that backs up everything from databases to all files in the root folder, which i find it really useful.

is there an equivalent method in VB4 ?

Templates and plugins are part of the database.

If I were you I would do the backup of db from the phpmyadmin in the cp of the host.

currently, i'm doing backup via PhpMyAdmin,

just wondering if there are other solutions.

I'm also curious if there's a plugin / solution that will do automatic (full database) backups of the entire database...

Kind of sucks to have to manually do a backup every single night...even if there was a CRON option somewhere?

Yes, there are other solutions. For ex to do it via mysql dumper, or via SSH/Telnet but this will only work if you have SSH or Telnet access to your site. Or set up a crop job.
