vB Database Backup Pro (Lite) for vb 3.6 · **Released**: 09-17-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

When vb 3.5 first came out I was using this backup system on my vb 3.0 - and having nothing better to use - I converted it to work on vb 3.5 (here) and since then I have cut it down and adapted it for vb 3.6.

The original version was by Trigunflame and the rights to the code were bought by Zoints (D.Chapman) in January. A while ago David gave me permission to release my adaption, but until now I haven't got round to it. Trigunflame did mention a few months ago he was working on a new version, but nothing ever appeared.

I have stripped out much of the extra stuff that I do not use (or indeed, could not get to work). This is a simple (lite) version that does a php based dump of your database either as one file, or one file per table. It's been in use on our forum since the day 3.6 was installed.

Notes:
* I will not add anything new to this, or spend vast amounts of time supporting it.
* This is a Lite version to allow people to use the basic 3.0 backup functionality on 3.6.

History:

v2.10 : First internal version.
v2.11 : Bug fixes, some code changes.
v2.12 : Initial Public Release.

Hmm I went into config.php in the includes folder and changed mysqli (first option) to mysql, saved and now when I load the board, I just get a completely blank white page...

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks Paul,

David

Sounds to me like you may have made an editing error, so the config file isn't loading.

I just changed mysqli to mysql. I changed it back to mysqli and everything came up normally.

Is there anything I have to do aside from changing mysqli to mysql?

Sorry to be a noob

i have a windows server and have created a folder called backups

c:\backups

what would the path be needed to save in this folde and not the forum folder

"c:\backups\"

However, php may not have permission to write to it.

An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

Sorry, I can't help you with permission problems on your server. Speak to your host.

Refer to post 117

I got it working. For some reason it had to have a . in front of /backup/nightly, like ./backup/nightly/ no clue what the . means but it worked

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