vB Database Backup Pro (Lite) for vb 3.6 · **Released**: 09-17-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

When vb 3.5 first came out I was using this backup system on my vb 3.0 - and having nothing better to use - I converted it to work on vb 3.5 (here) and since then I have cut it down and adapted it for vb 3.6.

The original version was by Trigunflame and the rights to the code were bought by Zoints (D.Chapman) in January. A while ago David gave me permission to release my adaption, but until now I haven't got round to it. Trigunflame did mention a few months ago he was working on a new version, but nothing ever appeared.

I have stripped out much of the extra stuff that I do not use (or indeed, could not get to work). This is a simple (lite) version that does a php based dump of your database either as one file, or one file per table. It's been in use on our forum since the day 3.6 was installed.

Notes:
* I will not add anything new to this, or spend vast amounts of time supporting it.
* This is a Lite version to allow people to use the basic 3.0 backup functionality on 3.6.

History:

v2.10 : First internal version.
v2.11 : Bug fixes, some code changes.
v2.12 : Initial Public Release.

"./" means the 'current' directory.

The webserver user needs write permission to the folder (normally you would just set the permissions to 777) - also, you must make sure that no php open_basdir restrictions will prevent php from writing to the folder. The message means that apache/php did not have write permission to the backup folder you have specified, therefore it cannot create the backup file(s).

I have what seems to be an odd problem, maybe someone with coding knowledge would be able to explain it better.

When I run the script manually (run now) it works fine.. shuts the forum down, backs up the tables, turns the forum back on.

When it runs automatically it turns the forum off and I believe it stops at the post index table and does not progress and the forum stays off.

Why would it work fine with a manual start but not automatic? Does it execute in a different manner?

There is no difference in how it runs.

will be installing this, it will come in hand to have a daily backup. You never know when you need a backup.

yes it is not turning the board back to online!!! be carefull just use manual backup.. thanks for the mod but it would be better if it could turn back to online.. also a gzip would be good to store whole db..

How about MySQL 5? Does it compatible with that?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
