Administrative and Maintenance Tools - vB Database Backup

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Note: Because I did not write the original version, but rather have modified & adapted it, support of this modification may be limited

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, first for vb 3.6 and now for vb3.7.

The original version was by Trigunflame and the rights to the code were bought by Zoints (D.Chapman) in January. In 2007 David gave me permission to release my adaptation.

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.

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 backup functionality on 3.7.


History:

v3.7.001 : First version for vB 3.7.

If your forum works then this will work.

[BigJohnny]

is this a lite version?

[Paul M]

Yes.

[BigJohnny]

so what would be the "heavy" version?

[Paul M]

There is no heavy version, except for vb 3.0.

How to do that?
sorry, am new to all this

[briansol]

go into your schedule task manager, find the product name, and change the time there, save.

Paul- great mod/adaptation.

gzip seems to be a big request.
If i build it, would you have a problem adding it on to this?
