Description

« Hide

Right now backup and restore is handled by very simple capabilities. That need to be changed to offer a higher degree of detail, controlling things like logs, users, roll dates... both in backup and restore (separate caps?).

For now these have been talked:

- ability to control backup of users.
- ability to control backup of logs.
- ability to control roll dates in restore (~~MDL-12922~~)

it would be nice if this could be extended slightly to control certain parts of user information in the backups

eg to allow users to be backed up, but to remove "email" fields from backups - probably also the "password" field?

Hi Dan,

well... main problem with those fields is that they are required fields... so IMO it isn't possible to keep them out (unless for some sort of anonymous backup ). IMO, by default, teachers shouldn't be able to backup/restore users by default. Or/and we can seed the password or... not really sure. I agree we must address that in some way, 100%. But backupping without password or email... sounds "incomplete" to be functional.

Ciao

fair enough - I wrote a custom hack to remove password/e-mail and a couple of other fields for OU's incremental backups - they want to ship out course backups to people to install locally and want to keep forum posts etc, but don't want the local installs to contain "private" information..... hence the removal of password and e-mail. - might need to keep it as a hack instead of getting something in core to handle this.
