Are you doing a backup? #16

Open chrismdp opened 13 years ago

The answer is yes and no.

Backups are kept in the case of hardware failure, but if you delete something that you shouldn't delete, there's no way to get the data back again.

Do you need daily backups of the data stored somewhere? If so, I can probably arrange something like this for you.

ClaudiusCfi commented 13 years ago

no i just need a back up from time to time so we can follow the changing data. so every month 1 backup. if it would be possible. thats enough. you know its good to have all the numbers for the monthly settlement.

So would you like to be able to regularly see older data? We could add something to the system to keep a history of changes to records?

What exactly do you need this for? That would help us understand how best to help here.

ClaudiusCfi commented 13 years ago

Ja thats right. a history of changes would be nice. We need it to see what changes over the time. how a kid/family/whatever developed. is it doing better or worse. for example: we can decide how we support a kid.

chrismdp commented 13 years ago

This is a fairly involved change. Are there any developers out there with ideas about how to progress it?
