I found this easy to replicate on more than one host, and didn't see other reports:

1a) If you are in edit task
index.php?module=tools/tasks&action=edit&tid=4
and choose "enable" the system does not give a warning.

1b) If you are in task manger
index.php?module=tools/tasks
and use the drop-down menu to enable, then the system gives a warning
"WARNING: You are about to enable a task that is only meant to be run via a cron (Please see the MyBB Wiki for more information). Continue?"

2) Is it really intended to be run only by cron?

If so, how about a link in admin cp which leads to a simple page that explains you can use backupdb.php, if it is set by cron?
Why have it listed in the automated tasks area (where cron isn't normally needed)?


3) The backup works when using the "run this task now" button, but does not seem to ever work when run as a task.

###
Note:
#1a and 1b I am certain about.
#2 is a question to clarify the issue.
#3 needs more testing.

Thank you

#3) It definitely works fine. Please look up the way the task system works. I've made several posts explaining it and I believe Justin S. has posted my clarifications in the wiki as well.

#2) That is a suggestion. Please post that as a suggestion

#1) Will fix

Thank you for your bug report.

This bug has been fixed in our internal code repository. Please note that the problem will not be fixed here until these forums are updated.
