We are planning on deprecating and removing the backup.php script in OpenEMR. We’d like to know if anyone is utilizing this feature and if there is anyone in the community that would be interested in taking over the maintenance of this file and moving it into a module if the community is still wanting this feature.
We encourage people to use tools like mysqldump and backing up their sites directory using tools like rsync as that is a safer more secure way of handling file backups instead of the backup.php.
