When vb 3.5 first came out I was using this backup system on my vb 3.0 - and having nothing better to use - I converted it to work on vb 3.5 (here) and since then I have cut it down and adapted it for vb 3.6.

The original version was by Trigunflame and the rights to the code were bought by Zoints (D.Chapman) in January. A while ago David gave me permission to release my adaption, but until now I haven't got round to it. Trigunflame did mention a few months ago he was working on a new version, but nothing ever appeared.

I have stripped out much of the extra stuff that I do not use (or indeed, could not get to work). This is a simple (lite) version that does a php based dump of your database either as one file, or one file per table. It's been in use on our forum since the day 3.6 was installed.

Notes:
* I will not add anything new to this, or spend vast amounts of time supporting it.
* This is a Lite version to allow people to use the basic 3.0 backup functionality on 3.6.


History:

v2.10 : First internal version.
v2.11 : Bug fixes, some code changes.
v2.12 : Initial Public Release.

Hi there. Thanks for this useful tool. I have one inpt question on the permissions for the folder that this is writing the back up to, in terms of read and write and execute etc.

There are settings for owner, groups, public etc. What is the best way to lock this down so that the system can run the cron job successfully but also so that we can keep other's eyes out of there?

Also can you perhaps give us a screen shot that will show us a typical cron set up for a once a day or once a week backup?

thanks a lot

Hi Paul M,
I used :
Code:
$backup['DUMP_PATH']	= DIR.'/../../backups/';
We I try to run in from the ACP cron, I get this message:
Quote:
Warning: main() [function.main]: Unable to access /my_server_link/my_site/vb/./includes/cron/cronbackup.php in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 110

Warning: main(/my_server_link/my_site/vb/./includes/cron/cronbackup.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 110

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/my_server_link/my_site/vb/./includes/cron/cronbackup.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 110
What's a problem ?

thanks,,

That suggests that cronbackup.php is not in the includes/cron/ folder.

That means you don't have permission to create the backup file. You need to sort out your write permissions.

I upgraded to PHP 5.2.5 yesterday, and the forum didn't re-open after the backup last night. Any idea why that might happen?

Thanks Paul. Hopefully it was just a fluke.
