>                 URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-1191
>             Project: Magnolia
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: admininterface
>    Affects Versions: 3.0 RC4
>            Reporter: Sean McMains
>            Assignee: Philipp Bracher
>             Fix For: Ideas

>
> 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.
