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.

Go to your Scheduled Task Manager in the ACP and run the cron job.

you must give full path for backup folder in mysqlbackupconfig.php.
like this /home/user/public_html/forum/databasebackup. after you give a permission mode 777 to this folder. After you can take backup.

I did that

Well you haven't got it right - that is a simple permissions error, your web server does not have write permissions to the folder you have pointed the backups at.

Folder Permissions - Look back a few posts (to post #55).

Not really, it works fine if the server allows it to run. About the only thing I can change is to reset the timeout at the start of each table - but tbh, that's unlikely to make any difference as it seems as though your host has somehow set php to ignore the directive.

[QUOTE=Paul M]Folder Permissions - Look back a few posts (to post #55).

I chmodded my folder

/httpsdocs/backup (no trailing backslash) to CHMOD 777

Any other ideas?

Nope, it's a permissions error, only you (or your host) can fix them.

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