vB Database Backup Pro - Convert to run on vB3.5

This modification is no longer available or supported.

When vb 3.5 first came out I was using this backup system on my 3.0 - and having nothing better to use - I converted it to work on vb 3.5.

Since then I have seen numerous requests for a 3.5 version, and even sent my working version to the guy who apparently bought the rights to it in January. So far no new version has ever been released, though I believe Trigunflame is working on a completely new system.

I cannot (afaik) just release my version, as most of the code is still the original, therefore I have spent a few hours today detailing the (smallish) changes I made in order to make this work, and am now releaseing them as an Add-On to the original hack.

Please note that I do not use the ftp function, zipping function, or the mysqldump option, so i have no idea if they work or not. Also, no existing bugs are fixed.

Unless I missed out an actual conversion step then this is offered as is.

I will not add anything new, or spend any time supporting it. This is done simply to allow people to use the old hack on 3.5 until a new [proper] version is supplied by the relevant people.

FYI, the very final step had it's final closing bracket missing, make sure you add it. The file has now been corrected.

ummm, I'm getting this when I run the cron manually, any ideas??
I'm going back through the cfgs again to see if I missed anything, but I don't think I did

Try setting the lock options to "0" in the config file, you don't really need them.

I've got the same problem than Codeman05 ; even after having set : $backup['LOCKTABLES'] = 0;
