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As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

It just took some time to get to the folder, it's working now.

Glad to hear. I had to manually run the cron myself to get the file tested with the directory. That way I didnt have to wait for it.

I am moving from a Windows server to Apache. Will this mod create a complete backup that can be used to recreate the db with my new host? This whole db move has me nervous and am looking for options!

Backup does not work to save GZip Files, Its save to SQL Format, Please any fix update about on this issue?

Paul M · #**947** 11-03-2013, 10:17 PM

It works just fine, as long as (1) your server can gzip & (2) you turn the option on.

Under Options - Maintenance - View PHP Info

search for reference to gzip

Paul M · #**950** 11-05-2013, 01:55 PM

or SSH onto the server and just try running Gzip.

gzip compression is enabled but does not get work.
