It was a hack that allowed you to open the CP and select from four options, members, cgi-bin, noncgi or a custom folder. Once you made that choice it would gunzip the files and download them from your noncgi folder. The last step was a delete button that would delete the backup file from the noncgi folder for you.
It was a great tool and even though it didn't work on all servers (no Windows) it was loved by one and all (almost).

How about a (working) link to a past version's install so we can see what we have to deal with and how hard of a task it'll be... The procedures to run the backup should be the same, the only change would be to make it cp compatable (and guess who doesn't know it too well yet!)...
I was thinking that there may be a procedure to backup the document as a zip file somehow but i'm not too sure ;/...

The whole idea of this script is that you get to do it whenever you want from the CP of the UBB. We know there are other ways but different sites on different hosts have different levels of access. this is a UBB function. Very elegant solution for the people that aren't on Windows servers. I use the command line enabled version of WinZip on IIS 6 boxes. Frikkin' wonderful product it is.

Al: Just a sugguestion, for the tar commands, use the set included in that UBBDev article for backing up your boards (since that's prettymuch all this script uses is tar): #UBB.classic backup
tar -cf backup.cgi.tar.gz /var/www/cgi-bin/ubbcgi
tar -cf backup.noncgi.tar.gz /var/www/html/ubb --exclude=/var/www/html/ubb/cach$
tar -cf backup.members.tar.gz /var/www/Members
tar -czf /var/www/backups
rm /var/www/backups/backup.cgi.tar.gz
rm /var/www/backups/backup.noncgi.tar.gz
rm /var/www/backups/backup.members.tar.gz
# done! Tar is the tar code, rm is remove, exclude is telling it to ignore the cache... The sections you'd probably want for backup: CGI (for CGI and Vars) NonCGI (minus Cache) Members Entire Board you'd probably have to build a few functions though heh...
