Hey thanks a lot for your answer.. does it also save subfolders then? And can I remove not needed variables from the php file, like this:

PHP Code:

<?php


error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

if (!is_object($vbulletin->db))
{
    exit;
}

        $backupdate = date("Y-m-d");
        //"Y-m-d-H-i-s" to include time

        $backupdir1 = "/my/path/to/useruploads/";

        //Absolute path to where the files are located
        //ie.  "/home/sitename/public_html/forums/images/avatars/";

        $files = "*";
        //What file to backup? Use a * to backup all the files
        //inside the folder entered above.

        $backupto = "/my/path/to/backups/";
        //Absolute path to where to store the backups
        //Make sure to put this outside your root folder
        //Permissions should be 777
        //ie. "/home/sitename/backups/

        $fileprefix1 = "alluseruploads";

        //This is the prefix that will be added before the date:
        //bak2006-02-25.tar

        $tararg = "-cf";
        //Here goes the tar arguments.
        // -cf to archive - tar
        // -cjf to archive and bzip2
        // other notes: 
        // -tf to list the contents later on
        // -xf to extract them all later on

//Call the function
backupsus($backupdate,$backupdir1,$backupto,$fileprefix1,$tararg,$files);

function backupsus($backupdate,$backupdir1,$backupto,$fileprefix1,$tararg,$files) {

$backupalluseruploads = "cd $backupdir1;
    tar $tararg {$fileprefix1}{$backupdate}.tar $files;
    mv {$fileprefix1}{$backupdate}.tar $backupto";
    passthru ("$backupalluseruploads");

}

log_cron_action('Profile, Avatar and Attachment Backup Completed', $nextitem);

?>

Would I run into problems to just have 1 backup variable and 1 prefix variable?
