Custom table deletion default checked

[Kahmoon]

Hi,

the install tool marks the checkbox to delete tables by default. This behaviour is risky to accidently delete custom tables.

As there is a backup of the database automatically before executing the migrations I’m not sure if this is considered risky.

I think it is, because if you lost data unnoticed, it will be at the very least inconvenient to restore and at worst impossible due to the backup retention policy.

Didn´t know that. Where is this backup in case i would need it?

I don´t want to create a backup (i already got one). I thought contao install tool will create automatically a backup when doing db updates :-D. Misunderstanding sorry :-)

As already said, Contao automatically creates a backup.

OK? I misunderstood!
I just did an update and at var/backups there is a backup. Now i get it :)

Running contao:migrate does. So the Manager does as well.

In Contao 4.13+ that is! Not for Contao 4.9 though. I will change the checkbox to be unchecked by default, since that's also the default behaviour of the command.

Fixed in version 1.6.2
