How to make a backup of my forums?
I have a somewhat large database and when I use my control panel to make vbulletin database backups, it takes hours and hours and while its in the process, no one can access the forums, is their a better way of making this backup or is this normal?

There is alot of different ways to backup your DB personally i using this app to do it http://www.richtsoft.com DumpTimer i think its the best solution for large databases yo can config the app to backup your db everyday its comressed and you can easly restore one of the backups

Downloaded that a little while ago and it doesn't seem to be working right for me. It'll get almost completed then towards the end have a timeout, out of memory, datestamp, and a bunch of other different errors each time it trys to finish.
Anywase, is downloading a backup with PHPMYADIM via the export tab ok? Its downloading as one SQL file, so if I were to ever loose my database, if I reuploaded that file, all my posts, images, users, etc would be reloaded without any problems? |

PHP Admin is no good for large databases. It's limit is like 52MB and there can be timeouts. I dunno the details, it should not be relied on though.
I wrote this, How to Backup via SSH or Cron, last month. Give it a look. |
