As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

If you modify the code then I expect it would be possible.

Paul; Any chance of you designing this mod with an option to compress the sql files with gzip to save some server space?

Kay, so I figured it out, and installed it, and it's working, I run the Cron Job manually to test if it works, and it does, at the end I get this:

Code:
Processed Database in 23.385 seconds

Backup Completed Successfully

Done
After it's completely figured, then I go to my FTP, and the folder I set, and boom, blank, nothing there. What's the problem?

You are looking in the wrong place - if its completed than its written the data to the path you specified.

I've installed this successfully but I want to make sure that what I did was correct.

There was one file saved as "Forum-February-14-Full-Backup.sql". Is that all I need? Is the date method I used sufficient? I basically only want to save one year's worth of files before it starts to overwrite them.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of selecting the first option? (To save as one file)
Is it safe to install to "../../backups"?

As far as the database is concerned, yes, thats all you need.

As to one file or multiple files, it depends - its easier to restore one table if you have seperate files. If you need to restore the whole database, one file is easier (but in DOS its also easy to join all the single files into one big file anyway).

I dont quite understand your last question.
