Need Help - Sql needed?

[feldon23]

Sorry to hear about your forum issues.

I back up when I remember to, which is, scarily, only about once a month.

NEVER use the vBulletin interface to backup your forum.

Telnet into your server and type:

mysqldump --opt -uUSER -pPASSWORD FORUMNAME > DIRECTORYbackup04-05-2002.sql

replacing USER with the username, PASSWORD for your password, FORUMNAME with the mysql database name and DIRECTORY with your home directory on your FTP.

For example

mysqldump --opt -uelvis -pgraceland elvisimpersonatorsforum > /home/elvisimp/backup04-05-2002.sql

And you don't need all these forum admins. Frankly, I don't see the need for more than 1 forum admin unless it's just an enormous server. It's better to make everyone a moderator but give your login and password to a friend "just in case".
