RE: [Tikiwiki-devel] Restoring

[Richard H. <ha...@sc...>]

Is there a reason not to restore the database from a backup?

I would think that restoring only the dumps or a similar incomplete =
extract
of the whole wiki would be severely limited in its usefulness. There's =
a lot
of information in the database that would be lost - all the =
user/permission
settings, history and whatnot.

I may be spoiled by our backup rotation, but I think that to =
create/maintain
backups externally isn't a functionality a wiki needs to have.
For every change or addition to the functionality the 'backup/restore
interface' would have to be updated and maintained as well.

... some thoughts
