vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup · **Released**: 12-27-2009

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

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

I'm kinda stuck. The default value for the path is "../../backups/". Where is that directory located?

Thanks!

I am having the same problem. not too sure where to put a backups folder at....or if that's what I have to do...help would be greatly appreciated.

../ means up one level.

So if your forum is in /domain/public_html/forum, it will be at /domain/backups

Backup Error : Could not write to destination file ( ../../backups/2012-01-04/Forum-2012-01-04-Vb4_access.sql )

Sorry paul, I still cant get it to work, /backups is at the same level as /public_html

permissions are set at 777 also.

again sorry....but all I have to do is put a backups directory at the same level as my public_html right?

Paul M · #**576** 01-05-2012, 11:24 AM

Possibly you have php open_basdir restrictions in place - esp if you are using Plesk.

pbnjj11 · #**577** 01-05-2012, 03:36 PM

Not too sure where that's at. I'm using Cpanel. I will try to find that. thanks paul.

Automatic Database Backup for vBulletin
Backup Error : Could not write to destination file ( ../../backups/2012-01-08/Forum-2012-01-08-Access.sql )

Any ideas?

Paul M · #**579** 01-08-2012, 08:42 PM

Did you create the folder ?

If so, fix the permissions on the server so it can write to the folder.

hennnerz · #**580** 01-09-2012, 05:46 PM

Yah I have a backups folder set to 777, where should it be? At the moment it's just in public_html/mysite.com
