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.

All the options are located in the ACP in vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Automatic Backup

Notes:

Version 4.0.3 onwards has a Gzip option added (which will only work if your server supports it).

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.
