vote:db-backup admin addon

[sentinel]

i just wanted to know if someone is interessted in a admin-addon which gives you the posibility to directly download a database-backup of your pp-db. alternatively the backup might be sent to your admin e-mail.

yes i know backupping databases is also possible with phpmyadmin .. so thats why i ask _before_ i do this time

voted with yes. )

actually I'm using the tool wp-backup to back up the database.
wordpress blog and pp database in one move.

I use phpmyadmin, but a database-backup addon maybe a nice tool.
Voted yes! :-)

Sorry for the double post. :-(

This would be HUGE. I could have used this function more than once in the past...

Please?

You know, I sometimes avoid PHPMyAdmin just because cpanel wants to open like three new windows before I can do anything with it. Silly and preventable, I know, but I'd appreciate being able to do it from PP's admin page.

Voted yes as more choices are always better to have

I just lost all my info becasue of different version on phpadmin, so this wioll be a nice feature!

database backup is only one half of the story: database + photos is necessary..

I once wrote an admin-addon which sends the newest picture + the generated thumbnail to admin-email
but I used an external classes for that and it was a big mess at all
then I had no more time to continue on that
I also planned to integrate a database backup in that Addon

so I see there are some related souls around here ;=)

I would prefer this:
for the configuration, select boxes:

[] do you want image + thumbnail mailed to you after every upload?

[] do you want the database-backup-files stored at the server
[] do you want the database-backup-files sent by email to your admin email?


plus a push button:

[backup now] - to run a backup of the Pixelpost tables now (creating the complete SQL and send it zipped to the admin email )

I think something like this makes sense

I think that it would definitely make sense. It would be nice (from my point of view) if the database could be backupped into a specified directory. Then it is included in the automatic backup of my provider. It would also be nice to have the possibility to use the backup-addon to play back a backup from the file. And maybe it is interesting for some people to backup the complete blog.
