As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

im having trouble finding the backups.

I have the forum under a subdomain and have tried different paths for this to put the backups but nothing seems to be appearing....

Ive put the folder 'backups' under the main root and in the forum folder. Both folders are chmod 777 and yet when i run the cron nothing appears in either

I have set the options to both 'backups/' and the full url http://www.myforum.co.uk/backups/ and still nothing

Anyone help me here?

The url will fail, it dosnt work like that.

You need the folder path, either absolute or relative.

What message do you get when you run the cron ?

Just wanted to say thinks Paul,
I have been using this for years now on an hourly basis: on top of my other backup methods (very high traffic board). Then I capture transactions between the relative hours. I have not needed it very often, but when I do --- well its a lifesaver! Thanks so much for your time and for sharing

Hourly? How big is your board? How long does it take your job to run?
And how do I find out how long it takes to run on mine? The log in vb just gives time of start and "success".

My vb control panel says:
Data Usage 1.51 GB
Index Usage 896.57 MB

Indeed, something is not right, it will list each table as it backs it up.
