Backup Migration and Legacy DB Support

<

ul>

Hi,

Imagine being able to teach someone to review/create patches, without having to teach them to setup a LAMP development environment.
Imagine windows and mac users, friends, learning together to do (blank) with a virtual machine development environment.

I created a virtualbox Drupal development image. I wanted a simple platform to collaborate with several others on for a project. I thought others might benefit from the work.

Features include:
- Slim lightweight image (OS+tools are under 1gig)
- LAMP with APC
- Netbeans and Eclipse with debugging

The classical mysqldump is not enough to backup a drupal website.

With Snapshot, you can freeze your website and make a clean snapshot, mysql data and files. Different backup type can be done, simple copy, rsync and even rdiff-backup wich provide differential backup.

For now, only myIsam tables can be backuped. I follow percona work to handle innodb soon. Postgres must not be hard to handle.

For now, backup is local. Soon, distant copy will be handled with rsync, ftp and even S3.

Beta version is on github : http://github.com/athoune/Drupal-Snapshot/tree/master
