vBulletin Cron Based Database Backup
Developer Last Online: May 2013 
For vBulletin 4.1.0 Onwards
Versions Attached 4107: vBulletin 4.1.0 to 4.1.12 4200: vBulletin 4.2.0 (+) This modification is not available for vBulletin 4.0.x Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification. Please fee free to nominate this modification for the MOTM, and/or use the donate link provided (Support Developer). 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 Notes: To install, download and unzip the files, and follow the instructions in the text file. Support Support will not be provided for vBulletin 4 Alpha, Beta or RC versions. Low priority will be given to posters who do not have this marked as installed In some cases, support can only be provided if I have an admin login and ftp access. History: v4.0.1 : 28-Dec-2009 : Initial release for vb 4.0.0 Gold. v4.0.2 : 29-Dec-2009 : Added ability to block process larger tables. v4.0.3 : 27-Jun-2010 : Added Gzip option. v4.1.0 : 04-Dec-2010 : Updated for vBulletin 4.1.0. v4.1.7.0 : 16-Oct-2011 : Updated for vBulletin 4.1.7. v4.2.0.0 : 24-May-2012 : Updated for vBulletin 4.2.0.

Haha you do have a point. I suspect I've learned to be careful the hardway. That is by blowing stuff up.

When I run it, it keeps stopping at about the 7,200,000 block or 7,300,000 block of the postindex table. The table has about 8,000,000 records.
I enabled Block Processing and Block Size of 100,000. No error messages. It just stops. Tried it with both Combine Files on and off. And also with block size at 50,000. Any ideas what could be wrong? No members have liked this post.

I don't do much on the server so I have lost my knowledge regarding file permissions.
What permissions should I give to my backup directory? Thanks. No members have liked this post.

That really depends on what user your webserver is using. In most cases you will need 777.

I've been hearing that it's necessary (or at least advisable) to close your forum before doing a database backup. Is that true?
If so, should the forum be closed when this script runs?

Two things I am not sure about here
1. When setting it up the backup folder setting just looks like this ../../backups/ so now I created a folder in my root called "backups", is this correct? 2. In the doc it tell me to " Alter the timing of the cron job to suit." where do I find this? No members have liked this post.

1. "../../" just means "up two levels", so if your forum is located in /var/www/html/forums/ then ../../backups refers to /var/www/backups/
2. vBulletin scheduled tasks (in the ACP).

Have this installed and working, but just a quick question.
What's the recommended setting for this? Is sticking with all the default options fine? No members have liked this post.
