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.

You can join them with a simple dos copy command.

As for the mod itself, read the notes in the config file for the various options.

Finally! Success!

I'm running a Plesk server and tried a few times to get this script running... turning safe_mode off for my domain worked. *Installed*

I have basic computer skills. I had a person install this for me.

I am running this on 3.6.8. My webhost moved me to a different platform. Now when the auto back up runs it turns off my forums. If you are logeed on you get a banner at the top that says " Alert- forums have been shut off" If you are not logged on you get a full message stating that the forums are closed while the data base is being backed up, and does not come back on it just locks itself out. I have to turn off the plugins and hook system and turn it back on to make it work or reset.

Any suggestions on how to fix this
Thanks

Disable the option that turns the forum off.

I did some looking, could you point me in the right direction on how to do that?

Thanks

Its the SHUTDOWN option in the config file.

Installed, ran a manual test and it ran perfect. Will check again tomorrow morning after it runs tonight. Thanks

I did a backup yesterday and it was 163MB and just did the one here and it came out to 113MB. Any reason that there is a big difference?

When I was doing the backup via phpmyadmin I was adding drop tables and all those features.

I cannot answer that as I have no access to your forums or backups.

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