1 This files describes API changes in /backup/*,
2 information provided here is intended especially for developers.
6 * The backup_auto_keep setting, in automated backups configuration, is now
7 renamed to backup_auto_max_kept as part of a rationalise of naming (see MDL-50602)
11 * The backup_controller_dbops::create_temptable_from_real_table()
12 method is not available anymore. Temp tables must be created
15 * Using the info field from backup_ids_temp or backup_files_temp
16 must now go via backup_controller_dbops::decode_backup_temp_info() and
17 backup_controller_dbops::encode_backup_temp_info(). The implementation
18 of the encoding has changed. These new functions encapsulate any future
19 changes to the encoding.
23 * New optional param $sortby in backup set_source_table() allows to
24 specify the ORDER BY clause to be used. Previously it was required
25 to use the set_source_sql() more complex alternative in places
27 * The old 1.9 files backuplib.php, lib.php and restorelib.php and the bb directory,
28 (all under /backup) have been deleted and no code should rely on them anymore.
32 * Since 2.3.1+ the backup file name schema has changed. The ID of the course will always be part of
33 the filename regardless of the setting 'backup_shortname'. See MDL-33812.
37 * Since 2.3.1+ the backup file name schema has changed. The ID of the course will always be part of
38 the filename regardless of the setting 'backup_shortname'. See MDL-33812.
42 * Since 2.2.4+ the backup file name schema has changed. The ID of the course will always be part of
43 the filename regardless of the setting 'backup_shortname'. See MDL-33812.
