How often do you use the backup() method of the database drivers? |
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. |
