As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is a cut down version based on a backup system written by Trigunflame for vb 3.0. It is a simple vBulletin cron trigged php system that does a dump of your database - either as one complete file, or as one file per table. Especially useful now that IB removed the old ACP backup option in vBulletin 4. Files can be (G)Zipped to save space.

All the options are located in the ACP in vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup

To install, download and unzip the files, and follow the instructions in the text file.

How about auto deleting old backups? Other if the hack is sets every day backup the files in the backup folder will be use a lot of space if not manual deleted.

In example set auto delete backups before 6 days.

You can simply change the date format of the files (in the settings), and make use of the fact that this will replace (delete) any existing file(s) with the same name. On my live site I use the l (lowercase L), which means my files use the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday etc) - so I only ever have 7 backups.

I made a comparison with this mod and dumper.php, and stayed with my SQL:

Auto-Backup: 15MB
dumper: 6MB
