How to backup and restore the database using Tryton 4.2?

[Wojtek Warczakowski]

Hello guys.

As I see the newest Tryton client doesn't have a feature that allow to make a backup of database and then restore it. Does it mean that it is no longer possible to backup data using Tryton?

Yes, but you can still take backups using the standard tools of your
database. For example for postgresql you can use pg_dump:

I know it, but what was the reason to remove the feature? In my opinion it was very useful.

But it was not very secure as if somebody breaks your admin password can
copy (and also drop) all your databases in the server.

It was a security problem as it by-passed security administration of
the server and spreaded copies of the databases over unsafe PCs.
SavingRestoring a database on the server is not really difficult, and
should be mastered by anyone who plans to self-host his business data.
Else it is better to host them outside.

For free hosted services of http://sisalp.com, for example, I serve a
web administration panel which lets you save and restore your
databases the right way, with the right level of security

It would be really cool if this option (create DB from frontend) is
configurable in trytond.conf. It is quite convenient for sandpits, and could be
disabled for production installations.
