While Advanced Nuke Backup is a great script, I wanted it to be something more flexible. I wanted it to be easy to integrate automatic backups into other php scripts like forums, blogs, CMS, etc. What I have come up with is something that does just that and more. To find out more, please read the rest of the article. If you are interested in being a beta tester, please post in this forum thread

The script will be called "Bufada" which stands for Back Up Files and Databases Automatically. Bufada can automatically backup multiple databases without running into script timeout issues. It does this by splitting the backup operation over several sessions that can be limited by the number of rows dumped or by the size of the .sql dump file. Once the limit is reached, it will wait for the next trigger and pick up where it left off. Very useful for any size site. Also worth mentioning is the fact that the same thing can be done with files. Chugging away in the background backing up your files while users browse your site. Some other features include: File manager allows you to quickly perform basic operations on your files. There is also a handy tree view that loads all subfolders and provides an expand/collapse feature that makes managing files fast and easy. Easily create archives by selecting a few files and clicking a button. Table manager allows you to perform basic operations on database tables and selectively backup certain tables.
