HDTV Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hello, I search solution for auto backup base MySQL and when it's finished send to admin root email. I it's possible you add this function in next version of IPB ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicknight Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Eh, e-mailing definitely would stop working once you get enough members and posts (which can easily grow to several gigabytes). Any sort of database backup should probably be done using a cron job or the like rather than trying to perform the same task through a web interface.

atomicknight Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Then you should just write up a PHP script and stick it into IPB's task manager. For most setups, e-mailing wouldn't work unless your e-mail provider allows reception of extremely large messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithK Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Give db_backup a try. you can probably write a script that will just touch it daily to by pass the cron problem and it will ftp the backups to a server also. It worked out nicely for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
