This board is the new home for david63's extensions.
All of the extensions hosted here will need to be treated as a new install as there is no migration from the original ones to these, and furthermore, no support will be given to migrating to any of these extensions from previous versions. Due to the selfishness of certain board members it has become necessary to apply a limit of how many downloads each member can make before making a donation. Once a donation has been made then you will have unlimited downloads.
An extension for phpBB that will automatically backup your database using the phpBB Cron.
Compatibility:
Note:
If you are using any other version of this extension then it must be Disabled /Delete data and the original files deleted before installing this version - this will not delete any stored backup files but you will loose all settings.
Features:
Enable/disable auto database backup.
Auto db backup frequency - now set as hours.
Database optimization.
The quantity of stored backups can be set.
The backup time.
The backup file type - gzip, bzip2 or text.
The ability, via an event, to export the backup files.
Language(s):
en
Version:
3.3.0
Installation:
Download the latest release and unzip it.
Upload the unzipped files to [board root]/ext/devspace/autodbbackup and enable it in the ACP
1. Folder name in zip-archive should be "autodbbackup" otherwise it doesn't install.
2. Default value for "Backup frequency" should be set to a valid value, e.g. "24" instead of "86400" (i think you thought of "s" instead of "h").
3. Default value for "Next backup time" should be set to a value that makes more sense.
Best regards.

Not sure what you mean. The "backup frequency" is set to 1 and the next backup time is set to the current time.
Something went wrong during the request and an exception was thrown. The changes made before the error occurred were reversed to the best of our abilities, but you should check the board for errors.
A required module does not exist: ACP_AUTO_DB_BACKUP

Not sure why you would be getting that error.
Did you have a previous version of this extension installed?
Unzip on your local machine and ftp the files to your server. Some server configurations don't honour the directory structure when files are unzipped on the server which results in creating problems.
I have seen this happen before but, to be honest, I never spent any time looking into it, partly because trying to work out what happened historically in a cron job is almost impossible and also because I don't think that you can have too many backups.
If I had to make a guess as to what caused it I probably be thinking that it is something to do with timezones.
Out of interest what were the timezones of the users that triggered the backups and were they members or guests?
