Description
This is Dbsave plugin , a plugin for **Question2Answer** that provides DbSave , the versatile database dump for QA.
This tool uses additionally an invisible widget to try autocron.

Features
- save the main database of QA on the disk in a writable directory
- download the same file at the same moment to avoid timeouts troubles
- download only in case of lack of writable directory
- optionnaly, adds a new prefix to tables, indexed like the archive are by the day index. ( complex idea, be carefull is you are a novice )
- constraints are well handled
- provides a link to be called by an external cron with a specific password
- optionnaly tries autocron between 2:00 and 5:59 h. It works !
- holds the memory limitation for big tables. You need at least 16 Mb by session.
- fixes the not reversible tokenization of fields of bit type.
- holds the timeout problems by miming downloads. Cron had been tested running 45 min.

Please test and report bugs. Or use it ! Be kind, it's my first Php application.

It's not an annoucement only , there is a question :

do you think that this plugin must handle the database restoration ?

( edited to show the question )
I wrote the function but I don't know what will happen if the tool is between novices hands

Q2A version: 1.7.1
by
4 nights for 40 sites ( most of them are just QA installations with a title and nothing ) configured to run dbsave. All the active sites have their 4 backups and almost all the others too. Feedback is welcome before the 1.0 version.
