Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 19, 200817 yr 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 ?
January 19, 200817 yr 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.
January 19, 200817 yr My host don't give me autorization for make cronjob and I have only 1 backup by month. and when my base have over 100MB.gz ok I will move to dedicat server. But right now my base have only 1MB, and I don't have time go each day look if member have posted new topic of no... After crash of my host I have losted 2 weeks for topic...
January 19, 200817 yr 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.
January 19, 200817 yr 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 :)
