Awesome paul, thanks again.

Having issues:

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

I've tried every possible directory combination I can think of, but no dice. I've CHMOD'd and also still had no luck. Any ideas?

Forum files are in public_html/website/. I've tried ../backups/, ../../backups/, etc. All of them to no avail.

TIA for help.

Have you actually created the backup directory you are trying to use ?

[ChopSuey]

/home/yourname/backups/

create a folder same directory as public_html

Alright I got everything installed but when I click Run Now I get this error:

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

I know it is not a good location for the file but I am just testing it. I also made that folder writable so I don't know what's going on.
Any suggestions?

Just out of curiosity, is it a good idea to "Lock Tables" when doing the backup?
I seem to remember we had that enabled on the old v3.x one.

It depends, it means no tables can be updated while the backup is running, which is ideal - however, it also means your forum will not function until the backup has completed.

Sorry I'm a noob at this lol I still don't understand. Could you explain it a little more?
Thanks

EDIT: Never mind I got it all fixed, thanks

Yes thanks Paul. I'd noticed that happen on the older version.
No biggie, as the task is in the early hours, take just a few seconds and the notice is displayed.
That's cool

Thank you, work on vB4.0.1

Compressed to .gz, it's possible ?

or

Compressed to .gz in the forder (but one file, not individual files)

[Paul M]

If you modify the code then I expect it would be possible.

this is not where I wanted to come, but thank you ^^

Paul; Any chance of you designing this mod with an option to compress the sql files with gzip to save some server space?

[ChopSuey]

He said if you edit files it is possible....Hopefully he'll do that also.
