As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Running vBulletin 4.2.0 with innoDB setting enabled as I do have a few tables in this format.

Any ideas??


Try doing a repair on the mysql tables before backup, that worked for me.

I tried to fragment the backup and still stalled out when it hit the posts table.

Oh well.

How come/Why are the queued files are a different count every day. I understand if you had a mod the count changes. But, I haven't added anything lately and the numbers seem to be different most of the time after being a constant number for the longest time.

Thanks.
