That all depends on how large your database is. The larger it is, the more ram it takes up.

This is a simple problem, you have not created the cache/auto_backup folder or it isnt CHMODed 777

What type of DB are you running? Are you receiving any errors? Check your error log.

Hey kkroo, I installed automatic db backup AND the directory backup but neither of them work. I supplied the right ftp info, and even the optional email. Yes I have enabled the email. But nothing gets backed up. What do you think is happening?

No, I recieve no errors, also, you may want to update because the directory backup page doesnt even use the lang vars that you put.

I got the MOD from kkroo's site.

I recommend you stay with the latest version of the mod. The latest version has a feature preventing your board from being disabled. To try and fix that problem, try shrinking the backup size for most servers wont allow 103MB to be handled at once and will terminate the script resulting in your 1kb backup. To do that, try excluding the search table from the backup and other tables containing useless data such as sessions.

Hope that helps

Awesome mod. Works great. Emails directly to my email. I have it set to backup everyday at midnight (default). Of course you can have it backup every minute if you wish.

Once again, great mod guys!
