Thanks for updating this Paul
When I go to 3.8, I'll need to update my backup mod

Good job just a heads up in the schedule task section section it's still showing "Automatic Database Backup for vBulletin 3.7"

[Paul M]

Thanks, Cron title updated.

Can you think of a reason why it would just stop in the middle of the "post" table every time I run it from the cron, even a cron directly from my site's server, but if I use mysqlbackup and do it using the php directly, it will take a full backup?

Thanks paul, I want to ask some .. euhm .. noobish questions


in the configuration file -- I've made file in path site/vb/backups/
backups file is writable and this is the configuration part

// File Saving Information
$backup['DATE'] = 'Y-M-d'; // Backup file date format (See http://uk.php.net/date)
$backup['PREFIX'] = 'Forum-'; // Backup file prefix, applied to all files
$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = 'backups/'; // Path to backups folder, must have a trailing slash, folder must be writable.


I couldn't modify the date because I didn't understand how to write the scheme from php.net , can you give an example please ?


went to cron jobs and pressed " run now "
An error occured during the Backup : Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.




Thanks for you great mods

Maybe your php installation has a timeout ?

[Paul M]

This is not likely to work ;

$backup['DUMP_PATH'] = 'backups/';

Where exactly is your backups folder (in relation to other folders).

I did $backup['DUMP_PATH'] = './backups/';

Works for me.
