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=))

excellant wot can i say

/me click installed

took less than 2 secs to do 2meg test file

now small question anyone know what max file is this can do before times out or dont it work that way.

Best way ive seen of doing a databse backup and restore

/me is happy

forgot to say i tried to do a file though phpmyadmin and it crashed out and would`nt do a 1.7 meg file

So i contacted host and they only allow it to be done though SSH but this makes it a lot better with this hack

I gave this a whirl on 2.3.2 and I get the same thing of not finding the backup package. I did run the root.php, made sure the paths reflected that as well as checked again a few more times. I saw someone say they got this running on 2.3.0 but has anyone tried this on 2.3.2?

It also seems to run instantly which I thought was odd since the regular .sql backup file generated by the built in process in vB takes a minute or so to process before the d/l starts. I would have though even though creating the backup file on the server it would take a few seconds to run. Is this normal?

Thanks,

Chris

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