vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup · **Released**: 12-27-2009

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Hi paul,
the tables backup prefix must be the same of the database tables prefix?

Thanks

Paul M · #**177** 04-28-2010, 12:02 PM

Nope - its just a prefix thats added to the filenames when they are created - its not related to any table prefix.

Ok, it seemed to work, but when I go to the file I created, it's empty.
Nevermind, it's there now, lol. Strange, it took a few minutes to show up. great mod! thank you!

Paul, I've been using various iterations of this mod over the past few years, with great success, and no problems.

Except one. I can't delete any of the backups. I have a few gigabytes of backups on my server....

I use a "backups" directory, (on shared hosting), which is OUTSIDE the PUBLIC HTML directory, which should help protect them from the devious little b...rds out there. But I guess I don't have permission to alter those files, as they were created by vbulletin (ie, the server). Any suggestions as to how to delete these files? I've tried changing their permissions using CPanel, to no avail.

Would be nice if you had an addition to this mod, whereby one could manage the backups that were created.

Thanks!
