vB Database Backup Pro (Lite) for vb 3.6 · **Released**: 09-17-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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.

Something I didn't find anywhere in this thread is how do you use this backup to do a restore?
TIA

You don't. You import the SQL files via phpMyAdmin.

or better still, using SSH (if you have access).

Will this work on a large db 400+mb?

Paul M · #**526** 01-30-2008, 04:14 PM

Yes.

Installed, running beautifully on 3.6.8 RL2. I actually made my own scheduled task, as I didn't realise the hack had already made one, but it's all working great. Thanks very much!

Database Backup
An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

in the mysqlbackupconfig file I used the /backups/ directory, I know this one exists on the server at the root level and I have insured it's 777, seems I am close,,,but still not working...

any further ideas are appreciated...

When you get the time..

Thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
