vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup · **Released**: 12-27-2009

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

Hello Paul,

I love your mod and it saved my forum once after a crash.

Would it be possible to build in an Email Backup option?

Due to backups becoming larger over time something like this would be great:

Enable Backup being emailed
Split backups for Email into multiple files of size: X mb

Each file could then be emailed separately to prevent file size limitations on some email servers.

This option would greatly improve on the security of db backups in case a drive crash occures and local backup files get lost/corrupted.

I really love this mod! Thank you for all the time and effort it took you to create it Paul. It is much appreciated.

I am wondering, is there a way I could make it so that it deletes all previous backups in the directory before writing the new one? I would only like to keep one day's backup if possible. Or would there be a way for it to delete all but the last X number of backup files before writing the newest one?

Thank you!

EDIT: Nevermind, took the time to go back a few pages and found Paul's solution of using just the name of the day (Mon, Tues, Wed, etc) in renaming backups so that it will only have 7 days total. Thanks Paul!

Does this stop the cpanel backup from running?

Paul M · #**628** 05-17-2012, 09:49 AM

Ths has no connection or interaction with cpanel.

Paul why this mod is not included in vb 4.2 ? this one is more important then "Members who have Visited Today" or "Who has Read a Thread"

Paul M · #**630** 05-23-2012, 04:32 PM

Because its not one that was chosen.

Boofo · #**631** 05-24-2012, 07:16 AM

What changed in vb 4.2.0 that caused this to need to be upgraded? Just curious, is all.
