      Test renaming of backup_auto_keep setting

      • On master branch, change the value of the backup_auto_keep config to 5.
      • Checkout the MDL-50602-master and do the upgrade.
      • Assert that backup_auto_max_kept value is set to 5.

      Unit tests

      • Run the following unit tests : 

        vendor/bin/phpunit backup_cron_helper_testcase backup/util/helper/tests/cronhelper_test.php

      Test with Automated backup storage set to 'Course backup area'

      1. When the feature is deactivated the automated backup run normally.

      • Set parameters in Site administration > Courses > Backup > Automated backup setup
        • Automated backup storage (backup | backup_auto_storage): Course backup area
        • Maximum number of backups kept (backup | backup_auto_max_kept) : 5
        • Delete backups older than (backup | backup_auto_delete_days) : Never
        • Minimum number of backups kept (backup | backup_auto_min_kept) : None
      • Create a new course with an activity (ex. label)
      • Run the automated backup : php admin/cli/automated_backups.php
      • Check in Course administration > Restore
        • There is one backup with current date in the list.
      • Repeat the following instructions after changing the system date: (current +1 days, current +2 days, current +5 days, current +7 days)
        • Run the automated backup : php admin/cli/automated_backups.php
        • Check in Course administration > Restore
          • There is one more backup with the specified system date in the list.
      • Change the system date to current + 8 days
      • Run the automated backup : php admin/cli/automated_backups.php
      • Check in Course administration > Restore
        • You still have 5 backups but the older one has been deleted.

      2. When the 'Delete backups older than' is activated, only backups older than a specified days are deleted.

      • Set parameters in Site administration > Courses > Backup > Automated backup setup
        • Delete backups older than (backup | backup_auto_delete_days) : 5 days
        • Minimum number of backups kept (backup | backup_auto_min_kept) : 2
      • Change the system date current + 11 days
      • Run the automated backup : php admin/cli/automated_backups.php
      • Check in Course administration > Restore
        • The list contains 3 backups. Only backups older than 5 days are deleted.

      3. When the 'Minimum number of backups kept' is activated, backups are not deleted even if backups are older than a specified days.

      • Change the system date current + 20 days
      • Run the automated backup : php admin/cli/automated_backups.php
      • Check in Course administration > Restore
        • The list contains the 2 most recent backups.

      Repeat the tests with Automated backup storage set to 'Specified directory for automated backups'

      • Create a directory to store the backups.
      • Follow the same preceding steps but change the following settings in "Site administration > Courses > Backup > Automated backup setup"
        • Automated backup storage (backup | backup_auto_storage): Specified directory for automated backups
        • Save to : the directory you have created.
      • Check the backups creation and removal in the specified directory

      The purpose of this feature is to remove the automated backups when they are older than a specified period. That way it will be possible to retrieve the disk space used by courses that are no more active.

      Two settings will control the process:

      • one to indicate after how many days a backup can be removed. Setting a value will activate the remove of old backups
      • one to indicate the minimun number of old backups to keep.
