I wasn't real sure where to post this as it really pertains to maintaining the forums, and I was really thinking this is something that threads should have but it wouldn't be actually intergrated into the forum software, instead an added cron event.
dodbbackup.php is responsible for backing up the data base(s), As I just went through and had to restore my users and posts databases from a backup I'd manually created last week I saw the light in needing a daily backup.
What I'd like to see, and I'm sure a lot of threads admins wouldn't mind having, is a way to invoke dodbbackup.php nightly, have it create a directory under the /backups directory of your choice by date. Ie, /backups/022603, /backups/022703 etc. and still be reconized by threads.
As I see it now, I could create a cron event to call mysqldump and pass the parameters too it, but it would be nice
to have it intergrated a bit with threads too!
As much as the next wiz bang mod is looked forward to, the mundane utility that saves your skin someday down the line REALLY is appreciated... Any help??
Any suggestions?
