Assume you mean on line 19:
($a,$d,$d,$day,$month++,$yearoffset,$r,$u,$o) = localtime();

Adding that gives this output:
Can’t modify postincrement (++) in list assignment at cpanbu.pl line 19, near “);”
Execution of cpanbu.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

$month++;

Thank you.

1) use a master MySQL account that has access to all db’s
2) modify the script to include an array of databases and iterate through it
3) make multiple copies of this script, one for each db instance (this is not very elegant though)

But I’ll keep that as a suggestion for a future release of the script.

I have multiple mysql db’s with different usernames and passwords for each (this is how the host company does it)

How can I get the script to accommodate this as it looks like yours will only accept a global u/n & p/w?

Thanks

As these backups are quite large it only takes a few failures in a row to hit the account disk quota. Is there any way of deleting the local backup file on error as well?

when i edit the $directory to backup with the string /home/[user]/domains/[domainname]/public_html (which contains 47 MB), i still get two backup files from 980 MB. why is this?
