Description

Hi,

First of all, thanx for this great module, i use it in all of my websites.
I would like to ask for a extra little feature next to the backup.
Its not totally different, but it looks at the module from a different perspective.

It would be nice if i could generate a backup and have the choice to leave the databasename the same, or choose a new one.
This is very handy in some cases when you have some sort of drupal startbase installation where you quickly want to make a clone os the website.
Now i have to change the settings.php file of the cloned site to the new database.
I think it would be nice if i could give the new database settings before the backup is made, so that i just can untar the new package and upload the database file to a new database.

I hope you see something in my proposal, i sure would make this nice module even more usable for other kinds of situations.

With friendly greetings,
betz
