A Special Thanks to IB Adrian for putting this up ;)

If everything goes fine this weekend (Family events etc) then come end of next week I should have videos submitted to the vBulletin Team for review. Some of those instructional videos will include:

1. How to Backup your forum via:

• phpMyAdmin
• MySQLDumper

2. Restoring your forum:

• Recovering your LIVE site if problems occur.
• Creating a Test/Clone Site via a backup file.

3. Upgrading your forum:
vBulletin 3.x to 4.x including common mistakes to look out for before upgrading.
vBulletin 4 to 4 series, anything to look out for when upgrading from let's say 4.0.1 to 4.0.3

If they are approved then bare with vB while they are converted and uploaded to the vBulletin4 YouTube account. If you have any ?'s about a step in the video please post below and I'll answer them promptly.

Sincerely,

Mike

Very nice, Mike! Thanks for taking the time to do these. I know a lot of users learn easier by actually seeing it done rather than just reading the instructions.

No problem! To most of us advanced owners this is simple stuff however to a beginner or first time purchaser it can be overwhelming! I agree about seeing it in action besides have you seen my backup guide?! It's long and to some confusing, to most it's not however videos let you see it in action and I think many owners/admins even if they don't speak "Southern" English lol will still see the actions on screen so I hope these videos help everyone ;).

Thank You For This Post..

No problem! I hope it helped and more to come, I'm trying my best to have most of the new ones I described above done by Friday or at the latest Sunday... just a busy week atm! :D

These were great tutorials! Thank you so much for taking the time to create these.
Mark and Trish

nice man
thanx

Great this will help every noob with intallation .....

just keep them comin ...........

I just love your previous tutorial as it helped me a lot and saved me from purchasing a theme ....

Thanks

Your welcome ;).

Ohh good, always nice to hear when you've saved someone time or frustration :D. There will certainly be more in my free time!

These video links aren't working anymore. Is there any other vb4 upgrade videos i can look at or any step by step post i can follow as i have always done my upgrades using @thelastsuperman video's and it's been more then 3 years since my last upgrade.

Help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
