Continuing the discussion from Documentation change log:
The update to the backup documentation documentation may cause confusion if this is used on older systems as part of a migration. Perhaps an old interface image could be included?
Under Included in backup - is settings.php included? Is there a migration path to the ini format?
Have you tested an ‘update’ on a system running Emoncms V8.x (just so I know what to advise)?
I think a manual backup method would be a useful addition.
