1 This files describes API changes in /backup/*,
2 information provided here is intended especially for developers.
6 * New close() method added to loggers so they can close any open resource. Previously
7 any backup and restore operation using the file logger may be leaving unclosed files.
8 * New destroy() method added to loggers, normally called from backup and restore controllers
9 own destroy() method to ensure that all references in the chained loggers are deleted
10 and any open resource within them is closed properly.
14 * The backup_auto_keep setting, in automated backups configuration, is now
15 renamed to backup_auto_max_kept as part of a rationalise of naming (see MDL-50602)
19 * The backup_controller_dbops::create_temptable_from_real_table()
20 method is not available anymore. Temp tables must be created
23 * Using the info field from backup_ids_temp or backup_files_temp
24 must now go via backup_controller_dbops::decode_backup_temp_info() and
25 backup_controller_dbops::encode_backup_temp_info(). The implementation
26 of the encoding has changed. These new functions encapsulate any future
27 changes to the encoding.
31 * New optional param $sortby in backup set_source_table() allows to
32 specify the ORDER BY clause to be used. Previously it was required
33 to use the set_source_sql() more complex alternative in places
35 * The old 1.9 files backuplib.php, lib.php and restorelib.php and the bb directory,
36 (all under /backup) have been deleted and no code should rely on them anymore.
40 * Since 2.3.1+ the backup file name schema has changed. The ID of the course will always be part of
41 the filename regardless of the setting 'backup_shortname'. See MDL-33812.
