vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup · **Released**: 12-27-2009

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Very nice mod! Thanks!

Got it working after some research. It did not properly copy the mysqlbackup.php file to the includes folder

But after forcing it to do so, it worked out fine!

Should be nice to administer and set the option to just keep a chosen amount of backups and automatically get rid of obsolete ones, to save serverspace.

Took a while to work out the directory, (not tech savy), but I got there. Great mod Paul as usual, marked installed and rated excellent. 9 secs to do the backup.

Thank you

Something got really really wrong... It's not creating the .gz files anymore. It only does sql files (over 2GB each). How can i fix this?

In Control Panel - Settings - Options - vBulletin Automatic Backup - you have an option to tick for GZip Files. Unfortunatelly, for me it doesn't work anymore...

Then you have a server issue. Speak to your host.

It's a dedicated server... so i can't talk to my host. I've checked the logs, and i see no errors. Nothing changed since last time Automatic Backup worked. Plus, i do my daily backups using .tar .gz and they work... so gzip is definatelly working.

Or maybe you can tell me where/what to look for that Automatic Backups depends on... Thanks!

Paul M · #**490** 07-09-2011, 02:35 PM

It simply issues a gzip command on the file, so all it depends on is the server doing what it is asked.

Is here where I have to put the extension .gzip or where?

Files Prefix
Backup files prefix, this is applied to all files.

Here I have My-we.gzip... is it ok?
