Database dump would make this amazing!!
« on: August 22, 2014, 11:30:30 AM »
Hi,

If you could also do a daily backup of a mySql(i) database that would be soooooo useful. I have web sites that have multiple image uploads and are do large to have inclusive backups, so as a tool for keeping these up to date yummy is magic... Would love to be able to dump a database also, offsite backups would be excellent then as I also have an incremental .zip backup of the folders running locally taking the weight off the server ... Sure I can do it manually, but I recon there could be a market for this, I know other developers using yummy agree...

Cheers,

Mat.

So if I understand this correctly, you'd need the options: Zip before transfer, then transfer the zip, with a datestamp in the name. Sounds like a good option to add, perhaps better in Yummy FTP Watcher though.

'Zip before upload' certainly made it as a new feature in the latest Yummy FTP Alias update, so technically it shouldn't be too much to add elsewhere… I'll look into it at some point :)
