best way to back up vbulletin?
Is it from the admincp >Maintenance > Database Backup?
If I wanted to transfer my site to a new server is this where I would go to back everything up before re-uploading? thx in advance for help. |

The best way to do a backup is to logon to your server via ssh and do a mysqldump. |

To be honest, I don't know. Well, maybe it is for owners who have small sites on shared servers where they are unable to backup their site using mysqldump.

Best backup is probably going to be through PHPMyAdmin

The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:
Backup: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...nce_ssh_backup Restore: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...ce_ssh_restore P.S. If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts: MySQLDumper: http://www.mysqldumper.de/en/index.php MySQLHotxcopy: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...t=mysqlhotcopy Bigdump: http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php |
