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.

Everytime I try to perform the backup through 'Run Now' I get this error message...
Warning: include_once([path]//includes/cronbackup.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 116
Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '[path]//includes/cronbackup.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 116
Done
Any ideas how I can fix this? Also, does 'Done' mean that it actually worked, even though it says all that as well, or not? Finally, once I perform the backup, how do I access the backup so I can use it to restore either my main site or a test site?
Oh okay. Well I just downloaded FileZilla and uploaded the files to the public_html directory, tried it, and it didn't work. So I tried the public_ftp directory and that didn't work either. Do you know where the files belong? Because my host has not said I need to upload any files to a specific folder or section, and it doesn't say it in the text document when you download the mod, so where exactly should they be uploaded to? I know they are being uploaded because I see them right there, so it is in the wrong place then I would assume.
I did that. It still showed me the same error message. I uploaded all contents into the includes folder of my forum, tested it in my ACP, and still got the same error message. It shows it as uploaded, so it should be working, but it isn't.
Give someone access to your server and ask them to check what you have done.
The error means the file(s) cannot be found, which indicates they are not where they should be. There isnt anymore I can tell you.
