Backup defined parts(the changed tables only)

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I use this fine scripts since v.1.3
and won't miss it any more

Still there's one feature I would like to suggest

in my case (and may be in others too) only some tables of the db could be changed by users.
A lot of tables a staticly or could only be changed by admins, meaning I realy don't need to backup
all tables all times.

So if it would be possible to define only a few tables
naming them somepart
and backing them up named like
dbname.somepart.date.gz

like
foreach ($somepart as $key=>$thatTable){
if (in_array($thatTable, $allTablesDb)){
       backeUpPlease($thatTable);
   }
} 
/*
maybe this feature
would save someones time and traffic
it would do so for me
*/
anyway thank you spending your time in
developing this nice little tool

Maybe its possible to use the new $SYSTEM_VAR array for this. It is possible to add $SYSTEM_VAR['do_not_backup']="table1,table2,table3";
Then we can check for tables which occurr in this string like you suggested in dump() in functions.inc.php.
This would not backup the listed tables in none of the backups (all databases).
Do you think you could live with that?
I don't want to extend the 'configuration' page any more to keep pMBP as easy as possible.

As I don't have much time at the moment and you seem to know PHP:
Do you want to give it a try?
