Hello VB members,

I have started to run vBulletin and wondered what backup software/program/hack you use for your forum?

Thanks.

Fabian

A linux cron script which uses mysqlhotcopy to generate a 14 day rollover database back up (sans indices), and another cron script that uses rsync to make a daily copy of the codebase, which also lives in a cvs repository, mostly because we run a heavily modded board with lots of extra php scripts.

Finally another script which rsyncs the whole lot to an off site backup every 2 days.

Hi.

Thanks for the answer but that does not really tell me anything!

What doe other do in terms of back up? Use FTP to copy all the files, directories, etc to your harddrive?

Sorry if this is too basic but am I quite new at vB.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
