As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

Note: I did not write the original version, but rather have modified & adapted it.

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, first for vb 3.6, 3.7 and now for vb3.8.

The original version was by Trigunflame and the rights to the code were bought by Zoints (David Chapman) in January 2007. Later in 2007 David gave me permission to release my adaptation.

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.

As of version 3.8.002, most of the options have moved to the ACP in vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup

Notes:
* I will not be adding anything new to this modification.
* This is a Lite version to allow people to use the basic backup functionality on 3.8.


History:

v3.8.001 : First version for vB 3.8.
v3.8.002 : Moved most of options to ACP.
v3.8.003 : Moved more options to ACP.
v3.8.004 : Gzip option backported from vb4 version.
v3.8.005 : Split option backported from vb4 version, close option removed.
v3.8.006 : Fix php 5.3 deprecated warning.

I can't seem to get this to work. When I click 'Run Now' I don't get an error code, I just get the following message:
Quote:
Automatic Database Backup for vBulletin

An error occured during the Backup :
I'm not sure what's wrong. Do you think you can help?
Thanks in advanced.

That message doesnt really help. 99% of problems are write permission errors on the folder.

You need to set the path correctly

Works great. MAKE SURE its in the same place as public_html

Does it affect larger vbulletin boards? As i have to back mine up using shell as PHP and MYSQL keeps breaking the connection because of a larger information that my board holds and also photos too.

Waiting for a reply and many thanks in advance.
