Hi Michael,
There are actually two available methods. On the Database settings screen, you can select whether you want it to perform backups using mysqldump or by using pure PHP/WordPress database functions.
It backs up each database table to it’s own file, so that a change to one table won’t require the entire database to be committed again.
You can find these files in the wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups directory.
Hope that helps!
Yes, this helps indeed. 🙂
I would suggest that you include this valuable information in the documentation.
On the Database section screen, I knew there was a dropdown box labelled ‘database driver’ but did not have any clue was this driver was good for. Now I know that it lets me select HOW to do the backup. I suggest you include this information as one short sentence on the Database section screen.
Same applies to the information about WHERE Revisr is storing the database dumps.
Thank you very much, and keep up the excellent work! 🙂
Michael
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ve updated the docs to include this info in the database configuration section.
