Automatic Database Back-up



Keywords
Automatic, Database, Backup, Cron

What this does
This is a port of Brad's hack that can be found here. This will backup your database using the vBCron system in vBulletin and send the file to a directory that you specified in the vBulletin Options area.


IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL THAT USE THIS SCRIPT
This script invokes an outside process that runs in the backround on your server to backup and compress your database. It is important to remember that this is not an instant process, do not enter you ftp as soon as the script says it is done and try to download your backup. It will likely be incomplete and your server will probbly still be writting the file to disk.

I ussally give the process an hour or two before I mess with the file, larger databases will take more time of course.

To do list...
  • Time to install: 5 minutes
  • Queries to run: 0
  • File Mods: 0
  • Templates to edit: 0
  • Templates to add: 0
  • New Phrases: 5
  • New Plugins: 0

Credits
Thanks to Brad for allowing me to port this.

It won't protect you or off any more sevurity than you have now. It will just make it faster and easier for you to get your site up and going again.

That's normal, you're ok. The database takes up space, too.

Bashy, thats normal. Its all in how the file is created, line brakes, whitespace, etc... I assure you there isn't any missing data.
