Hi!

DrByte's Backup Mysql has to be one of the best, most necessary add-ons for any serious ZC. It has saved my tush many times!

But there is something missing that I have wanted for years: a simple gui for naming the files created.

Over the years of using it, I have grown accustomed to making a backup, then renaming the file via FTP. This is what it typically looks like:
01_addBackupMySQL.sql.gz
02_addTemplate.sql.gz
03_addImageHandler.sql.gz
04_addZenLightBox.sql.gz
…and so on.

But I am now building sites for clients, most of whom cannot easily accomplish this simple task. I instruct my clients to make backups before they do ANYTHING to the site. This results in gianormous lists of confusing backups to work with.

Adding an interface for naming the files as you make it would be ideal. But maybe building a gui is just too much work? A very simple fix would be to:
• Get rid of the DB name/user that is inserted at the beginning (unnecessary info)
• Make the date/time more user friendly

To make the date/time more friendly, it might be cool if the file name was something like this (red denotes what is same for every file created):
Date-YYYY-MM-DD__Time-HH-MM-SS.sql.gz

So a file I made today (Feb 8, 2013 at 1:15pm) would look like this:
Date-2013-02-08__Time-13-15-32.sql.gz

A series of files might look like this (usually matching the date in the center column):
Date-2013-01-28__Time-08-11-24.sql.gz
Date-2013-02-07__Time-15-55-03.sql.gz
Date-2013-02-08__Time-13-15-32.sql.gz

All of the code to scoop up and name a file is already in place. All that would need doing is reordering and adding the constants.

Can I get an 'Amen!' brothers and sisters? Anybody want to help do this?

Or at least point me to where the naming code lives so I can figure out?

Thanks,
Mike
