As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

Backup Error : Could not write to destination file

What would be the path to the backup folder? Should I create a new folder and change the permission to writable or is there an existing folder I need to use? Thank you in advance.

If you read the Auto-backup.txt file, you will be able to setup the correct settings.
I installed this program yesterday in about 10 minutes.

What part of the setup don't you understand?

You create your own and set the path in the settings.

If on a windows box it'll be something like c:\path_to_your_backup\directory_you_created\
linux would be something more like /html/www/my_website/backup
If you're on a shared host it'll look like the linux one.

Couldn't you just manually create a second Cron task for that one specific run?

Yeah, my Linux box it is ../backupfilename/

This puts it above the public_html so the public has no access to it.

I don't know why I am having issues with this. it should be simple, I know. I am using ../backupfiles/ for the setting and have the file permission 777 but am still getting an error message...
