Woot woot. Why did they take it out in the first place? duh... i used it all the time.

I care for my site, so I do not trust apache/php/mysql limits from the browser. And use a shell to back it up. This way apache can be down, but I can still make a database. And after 15mb for example on most hosts I still get a complete sql dump.

But strange that they removed it. I guess they didn't add any value to backing up database or something. Good to see a vBulletin.org administrator show he cares about sites too and adding this as a plugin to version 4.

Thanks Paul, for your work on this.

Q: How does this deal with PHP script timeouts? Will it work with a 200 mb database for example?

I know that MSD will use refreshes and resume routines to get around script timeouts for large databases...will this do the same?

TIA

It sets the timeout to 1 hour (unless your php setup disallows this).

My database it well over 1GB, and i use this daily (it takes < 5 minutes to run the backup).

Things looked like they were going fine until....

Processing poll (72) : Processed 72 Rows in 0.006 seconds
Processing pollvote (2284) : Processed 2284 Rows in 0.176 seconds
Processing post (127205) : Processed 127205 Rows in 18.943 seconds

Processing posthash (7) : Processed 7 Rows in 0.015 seconds
Processing postindex (2778108)

No errors...just froze.

After about an hour on postindex, I gave up. Apparantly, this doesn't work so well on Hostgator shared hosting.

It was worth a try. Thanks anyway Paul. I use many other mods you've created.

UNinstalling.

Thanks a lot.

[Bouncer222]

So how do you set the time interval for it to create a backup? And does it create only mysql or public_html (my forums directory) backups or both of them in the backups folder?

I would like to make it per week. How I do that?

[M3xital]

Thanks! Works great.
