Semi-automatic backup
Actually install.xml already contains most information that are needed to backup/restore component tables. If it will have some new features (mostly to describe id-links between a tables), it should be possible to make semi-automatic backup/restore in core, lifting from the modules a weight of backup code (which is really duplicates same pattern most of the way). The modules may still want some recoding capabilities on restored content if needed, but main backup/restore would be coded in core. Not very easy to implement, but quite an improvment to system architecture. --Oleg Sychev 19:21, 7 February 2009 (CST)
