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.

check your path.

the config file is a little misleading. it makes you think you can enter ../forums/ or whatever, but it SHOULD be the URI to your directory, like /var/vhosts/home/yoursite/nonpublic/

There is nothing misleading - relative paths are perfectly acceptable.

All those are part of the database, so yes.

what is the best configuration for the mysqlconfig ? whats the operation of this

// Combine all tables into one file

= 'Forum-'; // Backup file prefix, applied to all files
= '../../backups/'; // Path to backups folder, must have a trailing slash

what should come in forum- fields ?
and
../../backups; shoudl it be like http://www.sitename.com/forum/backups ?

the option is there to have 1 file per table
or 1 file for the whole thing.

the path should NEVER be web accessible. it should be at the same level or below your public_html/ directory. Keeping your backups web acessible is a huge security risk, as anyone can download your entire site and have all your content and user emails

i suggest using a path URI,

ie,

/home/yoursite/backup/
where
/home/yoursite/public_html/ is your web root.
