Hey guys maybe someone can help me...
we've been mantaining this great boards as admins here for almost 5 years now. The thing is that the only guy who has access to ftp and mysql simply disapeared six months ago.
We had a major problem last month, the server went down for 5 days, we couldn't even close the boards os send a msg for our 44.000 users.
We need an urgent backup for the db just to make sure we won't loose the thousands os threads and users we have in case of another problem in the server.
We even thought of restarting everything on a new server but this will mean 5 years of hard work simply thrown away and loads of mad users for loosing their threads and posts.
The only thing i can access there through ftp is a subdomain that the guy who took care of the passwords enabled so i could upload icons buttons and stuff.
When i try to save a new path to make the backup at the admin cp nothing happens. When i try to backup some table from the db at the admin cp it gives me the msg ### VBULLETIN DATABASE DUMP COMPLETED ### instead of the option to save the .sql file...
The msg means the backup was successful but i cannot access this file, from what i understood reading about vbulletin it may have saved it at the root, but i tried loads of options and nothing.
we're using version 3.6.7 nulled by you guys...
can anyone help?
