ADMIN INTERFACE: Option to Remove Obsolete XML Files in Development Tools
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-1191
URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-1191
Project: magnolia
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: admininterface
Affects Versions: 3.0 RC4
Reporter: Sean McMains
Assigned To: Philipp Bracher
The new "backup configuration" option in RC4 is super, and makes doing backups
much nicer. Thanks for adding that!
One thing that would improve it even more is to have an option to remove
obsolete XML files from the root directory specified.
Consider, for example, a user who goes through this sequence.
1. Sets up a new Magnolia instance
2. Backs up his config, using the tool
3. Creates individual accounts, deletes superuser account
4. Backs up his config, using the tool
5. Has trouble with his installation
6. Deletes the repository, allowing Magnolia to bootstrap and recreate it
At this point, because the superuser account was exported in Step 2, it is
recreated, thereby opening a security hole, even though it wasn't present
during the last backup in step 4.
My suggestion: in step 4, the tool should remove the XML files that aren't from
the current export, thereby ensuring that items that have been deleted don't
come back to haunt you later on.
