Build All creates a backup each time?

Build All creates a backup each time?
Maybe I'm just going mad... but I'm sure that versions less than 2.1.2 used to only make a backup for each day it was run, and not a backup each time it was run? Seems a bit of a waste of resources really :/

Is this a bug? (i.e its somehow not working as it should).

Cheers

Build All always made a full backup.

Of course you may have turned "make a backup" off in your build settings previously!

Still seems like a waste of resources, especially if you are building several times a day. Surely one backup a day would be enough for most people?

I normally turn it off, as I use my Auto_Backup plugin to make the backups for the database/admin folder/settings/plugin etc :)

Yeah, a once per day function or a "safe" function /on demand would be cool.

Hey, can you send me a new version of auto Backup? I've got an old one, as I was beta testing it, and it sends me 6 messages a day!

Does the new one have a restore function, or is that manual?

Also, we talked about a "safe backup function" to make sure there was at least one working backup.

thanks.

I'll get your account on UltraNerds updated, and you can download the latest version from there :)

For which part? It has a restore for certain parts of it, and for those it doesn't, it gives step-by-step instructions on how to restore them :)
