Apps 1 currently has only one way to export data, the contextdepth writer. This hack proposes to add a second way to export data: the 'full bacjup'.
Full Backup exports all nodes in a mmabs ecloud, excluding a number of builders whose content is generated (such as syncnodes, versions, icaches, etc).
The module was written by Rob van Maris and offered for publication with his consent.
We used in in our own environment to export data from a testsite to production, and it werks pretty smooth. 'Full Backup' only exports.
Proposal is to include the full backup in the 1.7 release.
In 1.8, we expect to see an applications 2. However, full backup is, imo, so useful that is worthwhile to add this even though Applications 1 may be invalidated after the next (1.7) major release.
To test full backup, compile the files included in MMBase 1.7. Add a application whose contextdource bit raeds:
<contextsourcelist> <contextsource path="my_app/backup.xml" type="full" goal="backup"/> </contextsourcelist>
The content of the rest of the xml file is ignored, though you may need to supply some tags to satisfy the dtd (I myself just included it in our application file).
Note: due to a bug in the application 1 code, you cannot provide more than one contextsource. This is a bug and should be fixed if this hack succeeds.
