[(site_name)] in backup sql file name?

hi there,

is there a possibility to rename the backup sql file?
actually it is only the date and ’_database_backup.sql’, but what I need is at least the site’s name or the domain I do the backup from, ’cause I’ve differnt MODx’ on different servers/hosters for different customers.

thanks for your feedback,

You can name it anything you want once you download it.

It won’t be a big problem if you keep all of your domain activity in separate folders. I have a folder for each domain, and a subfolder "backups" in each domain’s folder, so the .sql dump’s filename really doesn’t matter to me.

thanks for your reply Susan,
of course you’re right. but - hey! - why don’t let the software do the work for me?

I thought there is a more elegant solution than ’hacking’ the bkmanager.static.php’ content-disposition filename.

regards,
rolf


UPDATE:
hacking is believing... this works fine for me:
header(’Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=’.date("Y-m-d").’_’.$_SERVER[’HTTP_HOST’].’_modx_db_backup.sql’);

BUT: of course this is worse.
and, while downloading, I recognize, that I want to download all the files, too. so I wrote a little script that scans the directories and zip’ed the files together.

to get this clean, and to enlight me ’cause I never wrote a backend-thingy for MODx:
should this go into a module or a snippet to show an extra form in the backup page (a=93) to allow a user to select file-download? or should this stay closed?

my idea is a complete package to backup/move a hole system.

cheers,
rolf

ohh, cute.
thanks. shouldn’t that be a part of the core functionality, like e.g. Typo3’s t3d tarballs?

I’ll give that a try, thanks
