Dad-gum kiddies! Let 'em start out the way I did, with FORTRAN on punch cards! That'll learn 'em! And another thing -- I had to write a whole database in binary, but we couldn't afford '0's in those days, and...
[nurse] Come on, Grandpa. It's time for your medications!
K@:
Huh! FORTRAN hadn't been invented!
We used slates and chisels!
(F.L.A.M.E.R):
How about we do this?
- Create an algorithm which could give the users a good idea of the backup size and is dispalyed on the forum backup page.
- Instead of letting users download the backup, place the backup in a default directory /backup or give them an option to rename it to something else through their maintenance area? (The /backup directory can not be viewable from the browser by default and a fix permission option will be a plus.)
How does this help?
- If the size is not near to what we suggest, then the backup is corrupted for sure and user can look into an alternative.
- Reduces chances of a bad copy being downloaded due to slow internet, browser crashing etc.. on the user side or module crash/restart from the host side.
What say?
