As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is a cut down version based on a backup system written by Trigunflame for vb 3.0. It is a simple vBulletin cron trigged php system that does a dump of your database - either as one complete file, or as one file per table. Especially useful now that IB removed the old ACP backup option in vBulletin 4. Files can be (G)Zipped to save space.

All the options are located in the ACP in vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup

To install, download and unzip the files, and follow the instructions in the text file.

v4.0.1 : 28-Dec-2009 : Initial release for vb 4.0.0 Gold.

Just FYI Hostgators script kills anything longer than 30 seconds. (at least, that's what they told me in a support ticket about an unrelated matter)

might look at this if Paul's next version works ok for me with splitting it up.

Try 4.0.2 (check the options).

This is all I can do, if this fails then tbh, all I can suggest is move to a decent host

I installed this and it slowed my server down more than anything I've ever used before; I actually ended up with database errors after using and had to take my server down for six hours to resolve. I didn't even get any of the "processing" status messages like others did... just completely frozen. I'll just stick with backing it up on the SQL side for now. Love your products though, Paul *uninstalled*

This only runs once a day, at 6am. I dont see how simply installing it could possibly have the effect you describe.

If "No" is selected for the Combine option then it will create the folder (and individual files), that has not changed.
