I would like to see a backup-restore feature added to CMSMS.
Thanks.
Suggestion
Here ya go...
I just added a module to the Wiki for this very purpose:
This module provides two functions:
1. It will dump your database into a flat file, which can then be copied somewhere offsite in order to back up your CMS site.
2. It will take a dump file, and restore your CMS database to the state at the time the dump was made.
Disclaimer: This Module has only been tested under a single instance of MySQL. It has not been tested under any other database. Bugs and/or user error CAN RESULT IN LOSING YOUR DATA. Test in a non-production environment, and manually back up your data first!
Disclaimer part 2: "The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents." -- Nathaniel Borenstein
