Its best to backup onto yourserver instead.
Problem with that is that i and the other admins will forget be easier to to it via emils or get it to backup onto th server automaticalyQuote:

You can create a cron job to run the vb_backup.sh file (You can find this in the do_not_upload folder in the VBulletin zip file you downloaded from the members area).
I just used to download the whole thing to my comp, Wasn't that big.Quote:

It doesn't matter now the forum has closed we are re-opening to a different type based forum.
