- Issue created by @Anybody
Since Drupal 6 (or even before) ;) there are certain database tables / table-namespaces that you typically always want to exclude from your backups to not become XXL, like:
But the current option to manually exclude these by selecting these in the "Exclude data from these tables" <select>
is not very user-friendly and you need deeper knowledge about these tables.
Run a backup on a Drupal page with large cache, many many sessions or search_api_db tables and be frustrated because the backup fails or is super large.
In the first step, we could at least list the typical tables that should be excluded in the field description in the settings
In the next step, it would be better to have a setting (enabled by default for new installations) to exclude these typical tables. Maybe we could have a checkbox for each typical case.
The major difference to the select is, that you don't need to select (and update) the tables to be excluded, as these are determined dynamically based on the prefix.
