vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup · **Released**: 12-27-2009

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is a cut down version based on a backup system written by Trigunflame for vb 3.0. It is a simple vBulletin cron trigged php system that does a dump of your database - either as one complete file, or as one file per table. Especially useful now that IB removed the old ACP backup option in vBulletin 4. Files can be (G)Zipped to save space.

All the options are located in the ACP in vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup

To install, download and unzip the files, and follow the instructions in the text file.

v4.0.1 : 28-Dec-2009 : Initial release for vb 4.0.0 Gold.

Hello,
Installed, and everything working fine.

I would like to change the run-time from 6:00am to something earlier... like 3:00am.
I realize it is a cron job, yet I can't see it under my host's server Control Panel.
Where would I go about to change the run time of this cron job?

Much appreciated the help!

Its a vbulletin cron - i.e. in the vb scheduled tasks (in your ACP).

Perfect! Thanks. Installed and just ran a manual backup before letting Cron do its thing.

46 seconds to back up my database completely and into individual files.

Hi,

Is this compatible with vb forums 4.0.6?

Thanks

In triguns version you could close the forum while this was running.. Could this be implemented again?
Or somehow lower the load xD cause everytime this runs my whole server becomes unresponsive for like the 10 minutes it takes to perform the backup and then like 5 minutes afterwards also..

Sorry but no, that wont be re-added. It was too unreliable, often leaving the forum closed after a backup.
