Backup before automatically update

[bueltge]

Backup automatisch erstellen, bevor das WP Autoupdate, seit 3.7 im Core, los läuft, um so den letzten Stand im Backup zu haben.

add_filter( 'schedule_event', 'my_backup_scheduler', 10, 1 );
function my_backup_scheduler( $event ) {
    // 'wp_maybe_auto_update' is the cron hook for the auto update process
    if ( 'wp_maybe_auto_update' !== $event['hook'] )
        return;

    wp_schedule_single_event( $event['timestamp'] - 5 * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS, 'my_backup' );
}

add_action( 'my_backup', 'my_backup' );
function my_backup() {
    // BackWPup Workflow
}

Personally I think this is not needed feature.

• backups should be made as often as possible (daily or more often) and no "hook" will save you. Especially the site could break after core update, theme update or plugin update, sometimes after changing some settings.
• nothing should be tested on production, so if you're not sure your site breaks, and you worry about it, use DEV server.
