What this hack does:

You can backup and restore your mysql database via Admin CP!
Lot of people have problems to restore their database du to server timeouts!
With this hack you will never have any problems!
But anyhow you will use this hack with your own risk!

Requirements: Unix, GZIP, MySQL, MySQLDump

I am not a programmer! I just tried to implement this feature into my vbulletin and it works!
Maybe some of you, have the possibility to improve this hack! You are welcome!

Enjoy guys=))

could someone explain how this works, i made a backup of my database and am moving to a new one (server) but where do i put the database before i click "restore"??

Well I tried using skyline's suggestion of changing the path to the mysqldump command, and still no luck.

I can't use the default backup as it times out for me, and I can't use this because although it tells me it did the backup, there's no file!

I DESPERATELY need to back up my database. Can anyone help?!?!?

all i can say is:
Ask your hoster!

Sorry

Hey, i dont know what functions your hoster provide!
The script works!!!!

So the reason has to be at your hoster! I am not your hoster so i don't know any details.

Why dont you ask your hoster first before posting that ++++?

I HAVE asked my host. mysqldump IS installed on my server. But your hack is NOT working!

I tried to install the hack aswell but for some reason I can't acces the screen itself, ones I click the backup/restore tab it just gives a 404 error file not found can someone help me out here?

PHP Code:


			
$pfad="/home/planets/public_html/forum/admin/backup";                           // root without / at the end

                    // If you don't know the root, just upload root.php on your server and call it!

$download_url="http://www.mysite.com/forum/admin/backup/";                // [url]http://...[/url] with / at the end

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