As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

v4.0.1 : 28-Dec-2009 : Initial release for vb 4.0.0 Gold.

By default, where are these backups stored?

If I create a folder at the forum root and name it 'backup', what might the correct path read?

Grats...........

Ok. Created a file (backups) at forum root (www) localhost..

Next, I used ./backups as my path...

Went to cron/Run Now

Code:
Processed Database in 1.513 seconds

Backup Completed Successfully
Done
Went to ./backups and found nothing there....

Which way did it go? Thanks all...

Edit: Nevermind.............got it now.

./backups/ works for me...

Ta.

When I try to restore one of these backups via SSH, I get the following error

ERROR 1265 (01000) at line 100114: Data truncated for column 'method' at row 1

An other backup I tried I got the same error but at column 'datastore'

Running vBulletin 4.2.0 with innoDB setting enabled as I do have a few tables in this format.

Any ideas??

Never tried that way before, no idea if it makes any difference, but try ;

mysql -u username -p

then once logged in

use databasename;
source /path/to/backup.sql

@Paul, this is the only released MOD I actually run on my system. I have made a few changes for my particular situation, but in the early days of running, understanding vbulletin this mod saved my butt. Thanks for the continuing support for all these years. I use this as a third backup system, in case my transactional system fails. <grin>

I just wanted to post to those having trouble with getting gzip to work, but are sure it is installed on their server, make sure that the exec command is not disabled in your php.ini.

I was having the same issue until I ran the gzip command separately in another php script to troubleshoot and it returned the "exec is disabled per safety reasons" error.
