Guest Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 brooky, I remember in your feature list mentioning the backup will be removed from admin as a backup feature exists in phpmyadmin. Please dont do this, as 1) the convenience of a backup through cubecart admin is a godsend 2) recent versions of phpmyadmin have trouble exporting anything above a few hundred K of backup 3) something else I have forgotten for now! security wise, you could just append the data/time to the filename. you could also add a reminder of the time since the last backup as an extra feature...

Guest Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Dear Brooky I agree with sculptex. Please have a db backup in 3. By all means improve it's security, if you think it necessary, but this has been such a good (and unique for carts) feature. Rob Quote
Guest OskMedia Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 the same code owuld work with minor chages....if i got time i will do it Quote
Guest Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 what about the backup function in cpanel; not good enough? Just a question........ Quote
Guest Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 what about the backup function in cpanel; not good enough? Just a question........ No, Not convenient enough! I think having something along the lines of the admin login log, showing the last backup and reminding after X days or whatever would be COOL. Like osk says, the hard work is done in the v2 backup.

Guest billmc Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Hi all, I also have to agree that the backup should be an the admin as a function. I personally don't have access to cpanel on about 30 domains and I could not trust my customers to do the backup via phpMySQL or MySQLadmin my two bits worth billmc Quote
Guest Charles2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I would also like to see the backup remain in C3!! I would like the see the ability to restore a backup make from CubeCart in the admin area!! Sorry if this has already been brought up!! Just my 2 cents. Quote
Guest Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 I can kind of understand if brooky doesn't want to put a restore feature in admin as misuse of it could seriously mess things up! Basically, if you have to resort to doing a restore for whatever reason, you are not going to mind going into phpmyadmin or whatever, you are just gonna be relieved that the backup exists! ps. Sorry if I started this thread in the wrong forum! Quote
