Administrative and Maintenance Tools - vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

Hello,

Sorry for my average English, I installed this mod on our forum and when I want to run the task, I get this error message

syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) on line 18 in /home/*****/public_html/includes/cron/cronbackup.php
#0 {main}

We are in version 4.2.5 and php7.0

Thank you for your help

Was that from the latest version above ?

That seems like something removed a while ago, but I have no way to check atm, as im on holiday.

We are using this mod since the first day our forum started in 2011 and it is still working with vB4.2.5 and PHP7.

One thing i never could fix: gzip-Compression is not working, i always get this Error in apache-log:
"gzip: command not found"
mod_deflate is active.
What can i do to tell apache to use deflate?
