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.

Fix the editing error you have made in mysqlbackupconfig.php

(possibly a missing semi-colon at the end of the dump path line you edited).

What are the benefits of using this instead of Mysqldumper?

Well I got the mod installed and ran the cron job to manually test it and it went through.

MySQL Backup was completed successfully with no errors.
Done

Since it said it was done with no errors that means im in the clear right? So if I pull this off my FTP and save it on my computer this will be all I need to run if something ever happens? Sorry for all the idiot questions but honestly this is the first back up I have ever done.

-Edit-
Just wanted to say that it closed my forums and opened them after the job was done no problem. Marked as Installed.

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