Allow all database tables

  • We are on version 4.2.0 of the plugin (most current at this time). We are using some custom database tables that don’t have the usual table prefix. I just took a look at one of the backups and noticed that you’re not backing those up in the plugin. Can you add a setting to allow all database tables to be backed up? Meanwhile, I’ve modified line 282 of dhdo.php to…

    $tables = $wpdb->get_col( “SHOW TABLES” );

    rather than…

    $tables = $wpdb->get_col( “SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘” . $wpdb->prefix . “%'” );

    …in order to get all of the tables into our backups.

    Feel free to put any thoughts you have there ??

    May I ask why?

    The reason I don’t back up everything is because some people use one database for multiple apps (this is especially prevalent on shared hosting). It’s usually safe to assume that all tables related to a site would have the appropriate prefix, and in fact many aspects of WordPress assume as much.
