vB Database Backup (Lite) · **Released**: 01-09-2009

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

Note: I did not write the original version, but rather have modified & adapted it.

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, 3.7 and now for vb3.8.

The original version was by Trigunflame and the rights to the code were bought by Zoints (David Chapman) in January 2007. Later 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.

As of version 3.8.002, most of the options have moved to the ACP in vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup

Notes:
* I will not be adding anything new to this modification.
* This is a Lite version to allow people to use the basic backup functionality on 3.8.

History:

v3.8.001 : First version for vB 3.8.
v3.8.002 : Moved most of options to ACP.
v3.8.003 : Moved more options to ACP.
v3.8.004 : Gzip option backported from vb4 version.
v3.8.005 : Split option backported from vb4 version, close option removed.
v3.8.006 : Fix php 5.3 deprecated warning.

Sorry, each will will have its own folder, whether they are combined or not.

hmm... ok... but please include this feature in your next version... it should be very easy for you to code it

Paul M · #**234** 09-02-2009, 04:06 PM

Since I agree with you, thats quite likely to be changed for the 4.0 version.

i'll agree to this adjustment. I was looking for the option to do this and came here to ask....voila! someone else asked it first

*waits for next update*

YES! me too and that will be great not to have more and more file of back up on that folder...maybe it will be great also if it possible to auto delete tha old backup and replace with the new one....so it means we have always a fresh daily backup on one file only...

hope this will happen or implement if only possible on the next version

anyway this is one hell of a great mod and in fact very useful to our site.....

No idea, why did it stop ? Did you get an error ?

Drache · #**240** 09-10-2009, 01:51 PM

can you use this on very large DB like 500 to 1GB?

Paul M · #**241** 09-10-2009, 04:48 PM

My database is bigger than that.
