I want to take back up my nvault file every 30days after and it will make a new file and store new data how can i done this. using nvault array for storing

[klippy]

Make sure the vault is closed, copy the file, give it a new name (suffix a date for example) and delete the old one.

With amxx, the only ways I can suggest is: calculate in seconds how much time left to 1st day of next month and set a task with the result of the calc as its time or compare the date in plugin_init. In task function duplicate the vault file. Or consider using mysql which would be the best and easiest way to backup.

You can also try (if you have access to linux vds) to schedule backup tasks.

I'm surprised there is no file copy native, at least I couldn't find it. If you use nvault correctly you should have no need to do backups. I have not had one become corrupt on me in years, and it only happened because I was using it incorrectly (not closing the vault, server crash, etc). I can write a file copy function for you.

Thanks Bugsy got you properly

I can write a file copy function for you.

I'd like to have this one too.

PHP Code:

public bool:copy_file( const szSourceFile[] , const szDestFile[] )
{
    new iSource , iDest , iBytesRead , bytBuffer[ 1024 ];
    
    if ( ( iSource = fopen( szSourceFile , "rb" ) ) && ( iDest = fopen( szDestFile , "wb" ) ) )
    {
        while ( ( iBytesRead = fread_blocks( iSource , bytBuffer , sizeof( bytBuffer ) , BLOCK_BYTE ) ) )
        {
            fwrite_blocks( iDest , bytBuffer , iBytesRead , BLOCK_BYTE );
        }
        
        fclose( iSource );
        fclose( iDest );
    }
    
    return bool:( iSource && iDest );
}
