hello,

I have been trying to find how to backup the forums database in vbulletin, but i am unable to find this setting.. Where is it?

As far as i concern..
You have to do this with your server.

Speak with your serrver people.
They will do it for u

That feature has been removed. (don't know why)
You can use phpmyadmin, cpanel or other scripts to backup your database.

From the manual:
Backing Up The Database via SSH/Telnet or
Backing Up The Database via phpMyAdmin

Restoring The Database via SSH/Telnet or
Restoring The Database via phpMyAdmin

If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:
MySQLDumper
MySQLHotxcopy
Bigdump

Because backing up a database from the adminCP isn't reliable

Yeh .. but lot of people have shared hosting and they cannot use SSH/Telnet.
And phpmyadmin is usually restricted (may be only few MB) so this option is not good for them too.

It is better if that option was left as it was.

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