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.

No problem Paul ..

You're right .. That might reveal some database secrets to others ..

Please forgive my ignorance if this was asked:

Will this system recycle every number of times (able to remove older backups it created)?

Or should I add a server-side cron job to do so?

No it doesn't do that but it would be an excellent addition. Post 'em if you got 'em.

Hello,
i'm sorry if is a very basic question...
I read

Quote:

I use seperate files so I can easily restore just one table if necessary. For a full restore you can just join all the files into one.

How i can join the sql files?
and...
I can restore by phpmyadmin?

Tks in advance
and all the best

the question of restore by phpmyadmin the answer is yes

i already test
the remain question is about join sql files. Or, maybe, a option to backup one sql only...
all the best
and tks again

You join them using your OS (e.g. DOS Copy command) or any program designed to join files. The option to backup to one file already exists.

Sorry,
I see now ...

// Combine Tables into one file
$backup['COMBINE'] = 0;

Tks for your time and support

An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

That's almost always one of two things:

1. the path to your backup directory is set incorrectly

2. the write permissions for the backup directory are set incorrectly

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