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.

I know that its not a permission issue now. I can go to my admin panel and do a database backup manually and it can write an sql to that folder. If I try it with this mod with the paths the same it doesnt work.

Oddly when the backup task runs javascript (vbulletin_menu.js) is stripped from all the forum pages and as a result javascript of any kind doesn't work anymore. I've narrowed down the problem to this modification - it doesnt occur with any other.

Any idea's what's happening and how to fix it? What i have to do now when this happens is either disable & enable plugin hooks or use a template cache plugin that refreshes the template cache. When i do either of these things javascript works properly again.

Try turning off the auto closing of the forum during backups.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I edited the file. Hopefully tomorrow morning when it runs it won't break JS again.

I have to ask this... Paul, why do you need 3 files to do what one file can do alone? I have been using a single file backup since 3.5.4 and it has always worked great and still does in 3.7.0. I'm just curious is all.

You'd have to ask Trigunflame that question.

Paul, you're telling me you don't know? As good a coder as you are, you could do it all in one file.

dose It support utf-8 encoding?

I see no reason to change it.

I figured that would be the answer.

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