PouchDB can't replicate backup databases #36

Closed craigminihan closed 8 years ago

craigminihan commented 8 years ago

A database with the name backup$XXX fails to replicate on PouchDB. Most likely the name causes an issue since other databases replicate correctly.

craigminihan commented 8 years ago

The problem is that PouchDB doesn't support local replication. For example if we were to backup database my-valuable-stuff on CouchDB we get backup$my-valuable-stuff. Creating the replication task on PouchDB causes it to terminate.

Consider disabling backup/restore for PouchDB databases to prevent users borking their installs.
