Auto-email incremental database backup daily

Has vBulletin a feature to do that?


Thanks a lot

vBulletin does not have this feature.

The database starts at 8MB and goes up from there. Most people cannot accept e-mails in the hundreds (or even tens) of megabytes.

You can setup an FTP server on your home PC and setup a Cron Task to backup the forum, GZIP it, and upload it to your site. Some of the newer FTP clients also have automatic downloads which you might be able to automate to download any new files in a certain folder on your website.

Yes, that is why I mean "incremental". You only backup the information that has changed based on logs. It seems to be an upcomming MySQL feature:
