As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is a cut down version based on a backup system written by Trigunflame for vb 3.0. It is a simple vBulletin cron trigged php system that does a dump of your database - either as one complete file, or as one file per table. Especially useful now that IB removed the old ACP backup option in vBulletin 4. Files can be (G)Zipped to save space.

All the options are located in the ACP in vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup

To install, download and unzip the files, and follow the instructions in the text file.


History:

v4.0.1 : 28-Dec-2009 : Initial release for vb 4.0.0 Gold.

Hi
I have had this working happily until I moved the forum to a virtual private server over the weekend. I now find there are no backups being created anymore.

Am I right in thinking that there was an option to create a backup immediately to allow me to test the settings???

I thought there was but I can't find it.

I have found the full path to my forum is along the lines of /var/www/vhosts/forum name/httpdocs/backups/ but it still doesn't make a backup.

I get no errors but I am sure there was a create backup now button.

Just use the run now option in the Scheduled Task manager.

Actually the path was correct. It seems the folder permissions had managed to change themselves in the move over to the new server.

Not sure how that happens.......

All working nicely again.
Many thanks.

I installed it on vBulletin v4.1.8, but how do I create my first backup? (sorry for the n00b question)

Is it even compatible with 4.1.8?

I works with any 4.1.x

The backup is run automatically by the vb cron system.
If you want to manually test it see post #542 above.

Not a good place to have it as that makes your backups available to almost anyone. The best place for the backups folder is in the same folder as public_html. Then use the following for the path:

Quote:
../../backups/
If you can't do that, then at least password-protect the folder via htaccess.
