[rejected] easymod make full backup

[chickeneater]

EM, on step two should have an option for a full backup of the prefix aka phpbb_ on step two for safety purposes. like the backup database that phpbb uses

[LLKwerv]

backup of what? the entire database? this is totally unnecessary.

[chickeneater]

yes the entire database!

just an option incase something goes wrong with the board, and they can't get a backup, and they don't have phpmyadmin

[Nuttzy99]

Can't they just use the phpBB backup utility?

-Nuttzy

[chickeneater]

this will be convinient because if they install a mod that messes up the board, they could have a backup.

[AlleyKat]

Of course EM should, and I guarantee you it will, contain some pretty fat warnings to this extent. And, really, if people doesn't bother to read that, that simply gotta be their fault and problem. There already is a backup feature in phpbb, and it works great.

[chickeneater]

thats right, it can either be a link or a download backup botton.

a person who has messed up cannot go back to th.... nevermind. I have to go

[LLKwerv]

but easymod wouldnt alter the entire databse anyway!

[GPHemsley]

but easymod wouldnt alter the entire databse anyway!

Um, yeah it would. It would do what the MOD tells it to do.

[LLKwerv]

but how many mods need to alter the entire database? maybe up to three tables. But, even these generally only use an INSERT, which can't really hurt.
