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.

Hi Paul,

Can this mod be used for "Repair & Optimize tables" ONLY?

Thanks very much and have a great day

Nice hack. What is the cammand to join all the files and restore ?

giovannicosta · #**287** 05-07-2007, 10:30 AM

Can this get all the files and join them into 1 zip file?

Paul M · #**288** 05-07-2007, 10:44 AM

Yes & No.

The output can be one file per table OR one file per database (containing all tables).

There is no zip facility.

What is the unix command for joing all the tables to one. I tried copy *.sql backup.sql it didn't work in my server. But it works on my laptop. What am I missing here ?

Paul M · #**290** 05-07-2007, 09:30 PM

No idea, I don't know unix that well.

Hi all... first post and I wanted to thank Paul and others on the board for their help! :up:

The Autobackup script works like a dream for me and saves me a lot of daily hassle.

I am also a regular on Cable Forum... I have been helped many times there too!

Keep up the good work.

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