I tested it a few minutes ago and it works fine

This change is used to get the db_data directly from config.php without having this data in more scripts.

Okay, here we go:
step1:
open your /includes/config.php file and find:
PHP Code:
// ****** DATABASE NAME ******
// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
// This must be created by your webhost.
$dbname 'your_db_name_here'
below that add:
PHP Code:
// ****** DATABASE BACKUP HACK VIA CRON ******
// This is the absolute Path to your folder where the db backup will be stored.
// Use DUMP_MAKE_TAR = 1 for compressed tar.gz file 
// Use DUMP_MAKE_TAR = 0 for normale .sql file 
$DUMP_PATH '/path/to/dump/folder';
$DUMP_MAKE_TAR '1'
Don't forget to place your /path/to/dump/folder folder in this code !

Save and store config.php

step2:
now open your db_backup Script in /includes/cron folder. Should be named vbcron_db_backup_131.php

and replace:
PHP Code:
// ######################## Begin edits ######################
define('DB_HOST''localhost'); // database host

define('DB_USER''db_user'); // database username

define('DB_PASSWORD''password'); // database password

define('DB_NAME''db_name'); // vbulletins database name

define('DUMP_PATH''/path/to/dump/folder'); // path to where db backup will be stored

define('DUMP_MAKE_TAR'1); // set this to 1 for the backup to be compressed in a .tar.gz file
// ####################### End Edits ##########################

// for some reason beyound me query was un-defined for some users, so this is here as an attempt to fix it...
require_once('./global.php'); 
with:
PHP Code:
// for some reason beyound me query was un-defined for some users, so this is here as an attempt to fix it...
require_once('./global.php');
// get db requirements from config.php
require('./includes/config.php'); 
step3:
now replace:
PHP Code:
// Get .sql file
exec('mysqldump --add-drop-table -h' .DB_HOST' -u' .DB_USER' -p' .DB_PASSWORD' ' .DB_NAME' 2>' .DUMP_PATH'/' .$file_date'-error.txt >' .DUMP_PATH'/' .$file_date'.sql');

$log_db 'Saved backup of databse to ' DUMP_PATH ' at ' $file_date ' (file name ' $file_date '.sql'
with
PHP Code:
// Get .sql file
exec('mysqldump --add-drop-table -h' .$servername' -u' .$dbusername' -p' .$dbpassword' ' .$dbname' 2>' .$DUMP_PATH'/' .$file_date'-error.txt >' .$DUMP_PATH'/' .$file_date'.sql');

$log_db 'Saved backup of databse to ' $DUMP_PATH ' at ' $file_date ' (file name ' $file_date '.sql'
step4:
now replace
PHP Code:
// now archive and compress the backup, also delete .sql file
    
exec('tar -cSz --remove-files -C' .DUMP_PATH' -f' .DUMP_PATH'/' .DUMP_DATE'.tar.gz ' .$file_date'.sql ' .$file_date'-error.txt');
    
    
$log_db 'Saved backup of databse to ' DUMP_PATH ' at ' $file_date ' (file name ' $file_date '.tar.gz'
with
PHP Code:
// now archive and compress the backup, also delete .sql file
    
exec('tar -cSz --remove-files -C' .$DUMP_PATH' -f' .$DUMP_PATH'/' .$file_date'.tar.gz ' .$file_date'.sql ' .$file_date'-error.txt');
    
    
$log_db 'Saved backup of databse to ' $DUMP_PATH ' at ' $file_date ' (file name ' $file_date '.tar.gz'
save and store vbcron_db_backup_131.php

step5:
upload config.php to /includes/
upload vbcron_db_backup_131.php to /includes/cron

and look how it works
