Hi. It would be possible rewrite the backup file to avoid having to delete every day the accumulate files in the database?

Thanks

Paul,
Is there an easy way to clone the mod, so besides taking daily SQL backups, we can also set a cron job so it takes a monthly backup?

I currently have the Date Format field as d which makes backups in date based directories.

However I'd like to know if it's possible to have another cronjob set up so it takes the monthly backups (e.g. on day 1 of each month) and the Date Format would be M

M A short textual representation of a month, three letters Jan through Dec

Thanks for excellent mod.

If you copied the files and created a new cron task there isnt any reason you could not do that.

I thought of that, but the problem is the settings on vB Admin Panel. My current setting is

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

How to make them differentiate for two backup options that we need: Daily and Monthly.

How to add another option so besides taking daily backups, it also takes backups on 1-st of every month. Or maybe I'm missing something too obvious.

Please advise.

Thanks

You would need to override the options in the copies you make (hard code them).

Ok thanks,

From your mysqlbackup.php file, I see these rows referencing the settings

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Should they be hardcoded on to a new mysqlbackup2.php like

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Please advise what would be the correct hardcoded part

Thanks

Ok this is how you do it.

1. Make copies of the two product files: mysqlbackup2.php and cron/cronbackup2.php
2. Add three extra settings to product:
cbu_date2: M
cbu_prefix2: monthly-backup and
cbu_path2: /home/user/my-custom-path/
3. Make this change at mysqlbackup2.php
From

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

to

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

4. Make this change inside cronbackup2.php
From

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

to

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

5. Add new Scheduled Task to start at first day of each month and to run it from cronbackup2.php
6. Done

It was too easy once you figure out, but thanks to Paul for giving the hints. Step 2 was key.

I hope someone finds this useful.
