a suggestion for a shared server, you could just set vbulletin to automaticly backup a few times a day. im sure theres SOME vbulletin hack that does it.

and in response to vbulletin being able to mirror like that, it can use two databases, not mirror'd but one for reading and one for writing,i THINK thats how its set up.

i also believe mysql has some way to set up two mirror'd servers, but any command exe'd on one would be ran on the other, so if someone DEL's your database you're still screwed.

and as him being a client..you may be able to create a 2nd account for him and have a script that'll run mysql queries between the main and backup databases? im just kinda thinking..in text here. wonder if that'd work >.> time to go waste 5 hours on this!
