Database Administrator
Hi all specially Dries and chx, I have written dbbackup module and added it to CVS then I got a ticket proposing the idea of adding the whole module as a functionality to Database Administrator. Before I add my module I searched in all 4.7 module for something similar and contacted the backup module owner to join forces but he ignored me thus I started a module. Now that I have checked Database Administration module I would like to take over that module to: 1. Upgrade it to 4.7. 2. Add Database Backup functionality. 3. Upgrade it to 5.0. I hope someone can help me do this. Thanks, Omar
Did you contact Jeremy Andrews, the owner of the dba module? If he is ok with you taking it over, or if he does not reply in a week or two, then we can transfer that project to you. Otherwise, we have to wait to see what he says. (Jeremy .... if you are reading this, please reply). On 11/16/06, Omar Abdel-Wahab <owahab@gmail.com> wrote:

First question, how long have you given backup.module owner to respond? - 2 days - 2 months - 2 years?? Omar Abdel-Wahab wrote:

Jeremy is traveling to Alaska, so give him a few more days. The DBA module already has a database back-up feature built into 4.6. It well designed to handle multi-gig database exports and doesn't time out with PHP. This was funded by CivicSpace. Have you evaluated you this functionality yet? I doubt he would mind if you tested and confirm the patch to deal with the forms API upgrade. http://drupal.org/node/68274#comment-140632 Cheers, Kieran CivicSpace
I hope someone can help me do this.
