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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

Paul,

Any reason to upgrade if the old version is working well? Any new features?

The only changes I see in it are in:

includes/mysqlbackup.php
includes/cron/cronbackup.php

So really, all you have to do is upload the files. No need to import the .xml. (Paul, please correct me if I'm wrong)

Simply bringing all of my mods into line, not all will have changes other than the version.

Thanks TeknoSounds, as it is all working correctly I will just add the .htaccess file to it.

This is fantastic hack. If at all one needs only one hack, this should be it.

Paul, I have a question.

Some time, I see the compression is not done, and I have the inflated file for few days while most of the days the compression is done.

What can I do to ensure the compression is always done ? why would it skip compression some time ?

The mod will always instruct the server to gzip the file (if you have the option set). If its not doing it sometimes then thats a server side issue.
