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

Upon review of the code, it appears that LOG_PATH, set in the config file, is not actually being *used*?

Hi, I keep getting this:
Failover was initiated for MySQLDump Binary but backup completed successfully. What do I need to do? I had to take the lock option off as it was giving Invalid SQL when I did it. |

Hey, I love this MOD, it's worked great...in fact I recently got a chance to test out its results. My forum was recently hacked and our database destroyed, we used a backup created by Database Backup Pro and restored the forum with no problems, except for an error when we tried to re-create a table named Hosted. It was used for an Image Uploader hack. We skipped the creation process of this table and the rest of the restore went fine, with no SQL Errors. After we'd completed the restore process, we opened up the forum and it appears to be stuck in a backup or something. We get the message saying that the forum is offline due to a backup in progress. The Admin Panel cannot be accessed, so I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance! -acidburn0520 BTW: If you'd like to see the site it's URL is: http://www.socomcity.net/forum/index.php |

If he tries to login then it takes him again to database backup warning page try to login with test test. P.s : i used it just for test it is probably not a regular forum user :P
By the way did you try to change settings in backup config file. Maybe if you change turn forum off setting and it may work then. |

Just a thought, but did you restore in exactly the same dirtectory? or have you changed it?
for eg: is your forum at the same address such as: yourwebsite.com/forumname or has it changed to yourwebsite.com/newforumname ? |
