How often can we request for a site backup on IC cloud?

Please implement a backup feature inside ACP so we can do it ourselves.

Another feature to backup just the configuration of the site without the member data, posting data (forum topics, articles, blog entries, events) would be nice so that we can export the config setting data and use it to start another forum site quickly.

I'm making an app like this if you're interested. 

 

You can request backups any time you need there. We have no plans at present to provide backup functionality that includes no data.

What's remaining then?

It's probably easier and faster to just create a small app that sets the necessary settings (that's literally what I'm doing for my dev/testing environments)

This most likely won't work on cloud.

I don’t see any problems, since SQL Toolbox works 🙂

There is no guarantee of this either on our network.

There's a practical issue in that you cannot write a file to a cloud community, but there may also be an issue in getting permission to scan a database and pull data out at scale. This kind of thing is often very intensive.

Ah, ok. I can disable it programmatically for cloud clients.
