If it would work outside of public_html, I would use that for better security, but I don't think it would.

Okay, that's just wrong.

mysqlbackup.php should be uploaded to {forum root}/includes/mysqlbackup.php

cronbackup.php should be uploaded to {forum root}/includes/cron/cronbackup.php

Then go to Admin CP >> Settings >> Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup and enter the location where you want to store the backup files in there.
