Backup Enhancements

Feature request from Lewiscowles1986, posted on GitHub Oct 13, 2015

It's fantastic that you can take backups in Magento 2 for the three different areas, I have some suggestions I believe would make this more professional solution

• Ability to backup automatically to a schedule (not just when installing plug-ins)
• Default to exclude media from system backups
• Default to put system into maintenance mode during backup
• Ability to launch all three backups with formatting string
  • "%Y-%m-%d %H%i backup db"
  • "%Y-%m-%d %H%i backup sys"
  • "%Y-%m-%d %H%i backup uploads"

@Lewiscowles1986 thank you for your suggestions. However, could you expand on why this is required? Default to put system into maintenance mode during backup

Hi @mazhalai :smile:

It's an enhancement so that resource locking will not affect the backup for large sites.

It's also not a requirement, just an enhancement idea that would be nice if there is time. To be honest it's the least valuable of the enhancements listed, supporting formatted strings for backups and having scheduled backups are much more important.
