Description

First off, great module! There is one feature that would be great to have.

For restore, could there be an option to select that all tables in the database be dropped first (or drop database and recreate it new) and then the restore performed? I have a sandbox where I try out new modules that create new tables, and when I try to restore a backup from my actual site, only the saved tables will be dropped,recreated&filled, but the tables that were created by the modules I was trying out are still there.

I suspect many would find it useful if they could do a clean recreate so that only what's in the backup file is in the database and nothing else.

That's not a bad idea, I'll put it on the todo list.
