Backup db file

[Former user]

How about adding a small link beside the names of the databases to let users backup
db files?

  [rw] mydb1.db3 (↓)
  [rw] mydb2.db3 (↓)

Yes, might be useful. I am just thinking about where to add it. I see these possibilities.

- db-list (like you proposed)
- on the structure-tab of the DB
- as a third option on the export-tab (hmm. it's not really an export. But users or
traditional dbms might think using a dump is the best option as a backup and might
not even think about just downloading the db-file.)
- as another tab?

Maybe we could even add it at multiple places.

Yah its very useful. I always download after saving new data.
- db_list its a handy way instead of clicking db name than export_tab or any other
tab than download. This way i can download all databases directly one after another.
- in export_tab is also good to call attention, that there is a better way to backup
db

i think these 2 options are enough. Its not worth to make a new tab for a small link

i'll add the first option cause i already made in my copy
If it bothers you, just move it away

Doesn't bother me. I like it.

I just added a hint on the export tab with another link.

And added htmlencode() around the path in the link. E.g. "file &a bla" is a valid (Windows)-filename
but not valid HTML because of &a. We need to encode everything ("file &a bla") that
might contain &<> and so on.
