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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

Current version is 5.3.27. Should I change the version to a newer one? I can select a few versions in cPanel.

Up to you, PHP 5.4 is what vB v4.2.2 was built for. You mag get some errors on your site when you do change your php version though.

It's weird because I have been on the same version of PHP for quite some time now and I never got those errors before. I'm going to do a DB restore of the new backup to make sure all is well.

Are there any pros/cons of sticking with 5.3 or upgrading to 5.4?

ozzy47 · #**925** 10-17-2013, 11:14 PM

TBH I don't know of any pro's or cons. The errors may show up if you upgrade to 5.4, doubtful they would show on 5.3.27

Superorb · #**926** 10-17-2013, 11:24 PM

I'll just keep things on 5.3 unless I find a compelling reason to switch.

the restore seemed to have gone well, though I don't really know what to look for. Posts look the same, users are all there, etc.

This is untested, but it should work.

Works fine for me on 4.2.2

Thanks!

Good deal, thanks for reporting back.

Superorb · #**929** 10-18-2013, 03:44 PM

Any harm in me changing my code to match post #918?

ozzy47 · #**930** 10-18-2013, 03:50 PM

Nope, it is reported to work, so there should be no issues.

Gotcha, thanks. I'll report back if I notice anything funny.
