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

I staggers the restore procedure so the server will not time out. I have used it a few times to restore 150+mb databases and have never had a problem. Just google 'bigdump' |

What does this mean "An error occured during input of the source file for Compression"
Also if I turn compression off and run the cron I get this straight away? "MySQL Backup was completed successfully with no errors" And no files or error docs show in the backup dir? Laters |

Great script! Running fine on 3.03
I have 2 ideas for future options... #1 How about an option to backup our httpdocs / DOCUMENT_ROOT directory as well? Would be nice to be able to backup all of our forums php pages and attachments for those of us who keep them in the file system and not the database. The backup file can be placed below the DOCUMENT_ROOT so it will not keep making copies of itself. #2 Since a lot of VB forums also have ad-ons (Gallery etc...) how about being able to include a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th database for backup as well? Thanks again for a great script! Installed and voted for HOTM. |
