vB Database Backup Pro - Convert to run on vB3.5

This modification is no longer available or supported.

When vb 3.5 first came out I was using this backup system on my 3.0 - and having nothing better to use - I converted it to work on vb 3.5.

Since then I have seen numerous requests for a 3.5 version, and even sent my working version to the guy who apparently bought the rights to it in January. So far no new version has ever been released, though I believe Trigunflame is working on a completely new system.

I cannot (afaik) just release my version, as most of the code is still the original, therefore I have spent a few hours today detailing the (smallish) changes I made in order to make this work, and am now releaseing them as an Add-On to the original hack.

Please note that I do not use the ftp function, zipping function, or the mysqldump option, so i have no idea if they work or not. Also, no existing bugs are fixed.

Unless I missed out an actual conversion step then this is offered as is.

I will not add anything new, or spend any time supporting it. This is done simply to allow people to use the old hack on 3.5 until a new [proper] version is supplied by the relevant people.

Also try setting $backup['SHUTDOWN'] = 0;

Other than that, sorry, I can't really suggest anything.

Well that got past one problem.
Now it hangs at: "Processing posthash : Total Rows = 1"

It is also appears to be creating a SQL file for each table...

oh well, I'll just go back to the using the crontab method. Thanks for the work though!

You've right, just have to config $backup['LOCK'] to 0

Now i've got another error :
"Failover was initiated for MySQLDump Binary & An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)"

I've tried full and relative path with 0777 chmod...

Well you could exclude that table, it's not a necessity.

That's a setting in the config file, set it to suit.

Is the destination accessible to php (i.e. if it's outside the forum root is basdir protection stopping you). Basically that's a server permission error, not a hack error.
