MyBB Community Forums

Hi , 
Its just a suggestion , that in the task for database backup if it can be done like this 

1. Board Goes Offline Automatically 
2. Database Task Completes 
3. Board Goes Online Again .. 

Sometimes the task gives us the incomplete backup , because of server loads , i just believe the above steps can give us better results ?

If there's a big server load, it means a lot of users are on the board. So you prefer kick them for an incertain time to be sure that the backup is all right ?

My personnal solution is to turn off the MyBB task and use a shell script to do a mysql dump which temporary lock the tables but is faster than the task.

Tasks can be disabled.

On a smaller board, and for newer webmasters who have no idea how to .sh, I would support this.
