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.

For those who have cron access, you might want to look at AutoMySQLBackup. It backs up all mysql databases and does daily, weekly, and annual cycling on a cron.
(this is still a great tool for those without cron access)
(also...any tool to help automate backups is a great thing....life can become very miserable when you don't have a recent backup)
Now look at the path you have entered and correct it.
Paul,
Thanks for the help. I am sure you must be beating your head against the wall after having the same question asked time after time. I would do the same! Since I want to be compassionate, let me give you a pillow to put between your head and the wall, because here comes another question!
I changed the path to:
Quote:
$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = '/home/sub/scxxxx/backups/'; // Path to backups folder, with trailing slash
Yet I am still getting the same error. From reading the posts my understanding of adding the trailing slash is the slash I added at the end. I will reread some posts in the meantime to make sure I am correct in this regard, but if you have some time, I would appreciate your help oncemore.
Thanks again for the help and for your patience. Truly to be admired.
