As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is a cut down version based on a backup system written by Trigunflame for vb 3.0. It is a simple vBulletin cron trigged php system that does a dump of your database - either as one complete file, or as one file per table. Especially useful now that IB removed the old ACP backup option in vBulletin 4. Files can be (G)Zipped to save space.

All the options are located in the ACP in vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup

To install, download and unzip the files, and follow the instructions in the text file.

Haha you do have a point. I suspect I've learned to be careful the hardway. That is by blowing stuff up.

When I run it, it keeps stopping at about the 7,200,000 block or 7,300,000 block of the postindex table. The table has about 8,000,000 records.

I enabled Block Processing and Block Size of 100,000. No error messages. It just stops.

Tried it with both Combine Files on and off. And also with block size at 50,000.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

I don't do much on the server so I have lost my knowledge regarding file permissions.

What permissions should I give to my backup directory?

Thanks.

That really depends on what user your webserver is using. In most cases you will need 777.

Nope, but when a script just stops, thats usually a timeout somewhere.

I've been hearing that it's necessary (or at least advisable) to close your forum before doing a database backup. Is that true?

If so, should the forum be closed when this script runs?
