Issue Summary

Would be great, assigning to myself to work on during the code sprint tomorrow.

Yeah this would be really cool. I've done some experiments in the past to see if this would be possible but never got as far as actually running a backup during the update process.

Let me know if you were able to make any progress on this. Otherwise I'll be putting it high on my todo list for new features.

#2

Yeah I actually got most of the work done, I just forgot to get the first patch revision uploaded... :/

#3

Please, provide a backport for D6 too. After updating some module, my database got corrupted, somehow. Due to this bug, some data got lost, since my last (scheduled) backup.

It would be extremely handy, if an authorized user could enable the option to automatically backup, whenever the "continue"-button is submitted on '{host}/update.php?op=info'.
IMO such option should be ENabled by default.
The option could be similar to the 'Quick Backup'-subtab (backup from a configurable database to a configurable backup destination using a configurable backup profile).

Would be a very nice addition. Both to save a few clicks/page loads and not forgetting to make the backup.
