Vbulletin Database Backup Pro (Cron Support)
Developer Last Online: Nov 2019
NOTICE: 02/03/2006 This system is being "ReBorn" into a new product "Vbulletin Backup Pro" working from a New Codebase and hopefully implementing all the features and fixing all the bugs that were present in the previous releases. This will be developed specifically for the vbulletin 3.5 system but will probably maintain compatabilty with the pre-existing 3.0 versions. Summary: Vbulletin Database Backup Pro is just what it says; a professional tool for your Vbulletin installation. This script will handle the automated backup of your forums in a secure, data-conscious and optimized way. Introduction: I want to interest all of you in the ultimate solution for automated database backup from within Vbulletin crontab system. And potentially more so than a standard crontab. It's been said, backing up without direct shell access is futile. Wrong. This script is optimized to work just fine with even the largest of databases. (Note: If you have an extremely large database, make sure to use the mysqldump binary option that is selected by default.) The reason for the creation of this script was due to needing a better system of automated backup. I think me and a lot of people have used either a standard cron system, or brad.loo's small database cron; while they can be somewhat effective, they do not provide the functionality or a total solution without having to extensively mod it. This system has automatic failovers for MySQLdump, as well as the compression programs used where applicable. All in all, this script is a one stop shop for handling your backup needs on a automatic basis or from the control panel without having to use shell and do a dump manually. Features:

Help Debugging: This may come as a surprise to some people.. but I do all my code in notepad, thus it may not look formatted right for people that use editors. If you want to view the code in "my" style, how its supposed to look. Open my files in Notepad, with Font size 10-Regular-Lucida Console. As for An errors you may get, when you post; Post your PHP Version, MySQL Version, and the Error as is Shown Please. Further Info: I would like a lot of people to try this script and give me feedback on what you would like changed, what Needs changed and so on and so forth. With the size of this script, it more than likely not gonna work perfect on every system.. so just tell me whats wrong and I will try to get it fixed. Show Your Support

We want to set up a second copy of vB for development, writing and testing new mods, etc. Per the license, we can set it up in a directory called vbtest and not make it public (password protect it). We're looking for a script that can syncronize the database, templates, etc from the production copy to the development copy.
If we back up the production copy of using VBulletin Database Backup Pro, can we restore it to the development copy? |

yes, just make sure to look over all the configuration options, and configure accordingly, make any changes needed.

I did use the xzvf and it did uncompress it, but to a separate folder due to the path I used in the config. So it's extracting, but making a new folder. No problem though, I can always use gzip compression like you suggested. And Gzip -d works as well to uncompress. |

Can anyone tell me about how long the forum would be down if the option to temporarily suspend is on? My database is currently at about 30MB

If you have shutdown option configured, it would shutdown before backup, and reopen immediately afterward.
30mb is a very small database, I would say total backup time, 5-20sec |
