vB Database Backup Pro (Lite) for vb 3.6 · **Released**: 09-17-2006

This modification is no longer available or supported.

When vb 3.5 first came out I was using this backup system on my vb 3.0 - and having nothing better to use - I converted it to work on vb 3.5 (here) and since then I have cut it down and adapted it for vb 3.6.

The original version was by Trigunflame and the rights to the code were bought by Zoints (D.Chapman) in January. A while ago David gave me permission to release my adaption, but until now I haven't got round to it. Trigunflame did mention a few months ago he was working on a new version, but nothing ever appeared.

I have stripped out much of the extra stuff that I do not use (or indeed, could not get to work). This is a simple (lite) version that does a php based dump of your database either as one file, or one file per table. It's been in use on our forum since the day 3.6 was installed.

Notes:
* I will not add anything new to this, or spend vast amounts of time supporting it.
* This is a Lite version to allow people to use the basic 3.0 backup functionality on 3.6.

History:

v2.10 : First internal version.
v2.11 : Bug fixes, some code changes.
v2.12 : Initial Public Release.

Hi m8, just installed this version seen as the other version stopped working..

I get this error when i run it manually to check it...

An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

What have i forgotten please

I take it

Code:

$backup['DUMP_PATH']	= DIR.'/../../backups/';  // Path ( With trailing '/' )

Is what we need to edit, if so would this be right, e.g.

Code:

= DIR.'/../../forums/mydbbackup/

or have i got it totaly wrong?

Or is it sommat else i forgot, sorry m8 but me aint 100% clued up on stuff like this yet!!

Only you know where on your server you are going to store the backups.

DIR is the path to your forum root folder (without the trailing '/') - so what you have is probably wrong, I would guess you are trying to use a folder called mydbbackup in your forum folder, so it would be DIR.'/mydbbackup/' .

JFYI - Storing backups in your forum folder is a very bad idea, as anyone could download them.

I suggest you read it again. I said DIR is the path to your forum, with no trailing '/' in it.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
