I pay for a full backup of everything (databases, server files, mailboxes etc) every 24hours which can be rolled back up to one month. It is about £3 a month for each site which I charge my customers for.
I have never used this feature in CI but like all features, I am sure there are people that do use it. However, these features could be considered quite specialised and if, as I am sure you do, there are good reasons to be considering dropping it, then perhaps it might re-emerge as a future feature request or perhaps even as an add-on written by people in the community.
Personally it would not affect me at all.
Paul.

I used to make backups with CI feature, but when I needed to recover that backup it turned out that backup feature was bugged and I ended up with broken backup file. That bug has been fixed since 3.1.6 or 3.1.7 version but from then I don't trust this CI feature anymore.
I'm making backups with mysqldump command runned in PHP exec() function.
Also CI backup utility makes significantly bigger files comparing to mysqldump.

I never used it before but I may use it if it remains in CI4.
Currently, I am using mysqldump in a cron job.

After restoring the site, I regularly back up. I will try to use this driver while it is.
Work out!

Hi everyone,
I think you should not remove this feature from CodeIgniter because it is already codded so... Why ? What's the purpose ?
I plan to use it but I think you should call "mysqldump" through CodeIgniter to make your backup as this is a very powerful tool
Thanks,

Never used this feature as we are working in a professional environment with our own servers.
