As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

How can you set what time it runs at? Or how do you even run it?

What does this backup path mean? "../../backups/"

I know it means up a level, up a level, and then in the backups folder, but I don't know up from what folder exactly. I'm looking for an explanation on this, please.

This is mine.

/home/USER/public_html/forum/backups/

Modify the "USER" bit - or the path however you see fit.

I did a similar path to yours, ran the backup but nothing is being sent to the folder I specified. CHMOD'd it to 777 perms to test.

path is /home1/ID/public_html/forums/backups/ - which is what I set the path to in the settings. But nothing ends up there.

It is preferred to put the backup files below or outside the path "public_html", to keep anyone else from scavenging your database.

IE:

Instead of:
/home1/ID/public_html/forums/backups/

something like /home1/ID/backups/

or

/home1/backups/

but definetly something not remotely accessable from the outside of your server

In that example, it is two levels up from your absalute server root.

But you want it to work away from public access and not in public_html.

That isnt so safe.

I know I posted it here some pages back, but for me and my server it is something like this:

"../backups/"

Do a search for my post in this thread, not too many pages back, but keep in mind many server are different enough, so not one setting is workable for everyone. Took me many experiments to figure out what works for me.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't know if it was feasible. I moved the folder, it's now /home1/ID/backups/

I ran the backup and there is nothing in the folder yet. How long should I take to get everything into the folder? I don't think it's working.
