[Burp-users] restore_client and delete operation

[Jiri B. <ji...@li...>]

Hi,

I wrote https://github.com/grke/burp/wiki/UNIX-burp-client-tips which
describes how to recreate burp client's configuration to be able to
restore its data.

I've thought about using one dedicated burp client to do just list/restore
another burp client's data on behalf of this another client, eg. original
server got destroyed and new one replaced it and we need to recover data.

But I'm curious if we could configure such burp client to just list/restore,
I see 'restore_client' option allows also 'delete' operation. I'm worried that
people using dedicated client with 'restore_client' defined could delete by mistake
backups of other clients which they have access to.

Wouldn't it better to have 'restore_client' option dedicated just for
client names and then define explicitly what a client, which mimics
another client, can do with 'client_can_*', where we could tight
rules? Or do I understand it totally wrong?
