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

installed, and running perfectly.
i do have one question though - if you're backing up your db to a directory on your web server, and you CHMOD it to 777, what's stopping someone (assuming they find out what dir it is) from 'stealing' all of your data? |

you should NEVER backup to a dir in your webroot. go one level up.

Trigunflame, do you remember the change that you did for me? It stopped backing up for a while now. In fact it backed up only for one week...

In my case, mysqldump is accessible from everywhere - but I get an error in apache sh: line 1: /mysqldump: No such file or directory each time it runs, even when I've explicitl mapped the path. |

Never mind - just read the bit about safemode blocking it.
I guess phpdump is it. I'm not turning off safemode. |

Trying to backup the database after a faulty mod install, but I receive the following error:
You have an error in your sql syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MSQL version for the right syntax to use near 'c4dportal < 1.sql' at line one. I've emptied the c4dportal database and tried using the mysql command to restore the database. |
