| Summary | 0020823: Implement dialog asking users upgrading to enable default database backup | ||||
| Description | After implementing 0020822 users who upgrade from pre-2024 will still have backup of database disabled (unless they enabled it manually). Many users are unaware of MediaMonkey's capability to backup and only learn of this when they need a backup (too late). MediaMonkey should, once only, on update offer to enable default backup. Maybe an ini/registry value can indicate that this has happened or not. This would help a lot of users coming from pre-2024. | ||||

Assigning to Rusty for a wording suggestion.. |

MM 2024 doesn't prompt users to backup the DB on a clean install, so shoudn't it do the same for users that have upgraded (assuming they've never disabled DB backups, and that MM can tell that they've never disabled DB backups)? Settings should be the default settings (i.e. weekly, retain 3, backup the DB only). I prefer the above approach, but If the suggestion above isn't possible, then an alternative approach (for MM 2026) could be to prompt the user (assuming they haven't been prompted before): MediaMonkey can backup your database periodically. Would you like to schedule backups? [Yes] [No] [Yes] --> launch 'Manage database' dialog. |

ok, we can change it to (i.e. weekly, retain 3, backup the DB only). on upgrade once the original default settings was unchanged... We just need to add a progress so that user is aware that DB is backing up on startup |
|
|
OK, so I added the progress UI while auto-backups are performed And once the DB version is 2024.0 and the settings is still the original default (i.e. auto-backup disabled, monthly, retain 5). then it is changed to (weekly, retain 3, backup the DB only). => Fixed in 3106 |

A clean install has backup enabled by default. This is a good thing. However users upgrading may come from a MediaMonkey version where database backup wasn't enabled by default. These users would continue without database backups. As many users are unaware of this feature, and the fact that users have backups is beneficial to us when things go wrong, users upgrading should be prompted to enable backups. We could track (via ini) if this prompt has been shown and then never show it again (or have one of those ask me again next update checkboxes). |

Verified on 3106. Backup ia auto-enabled from MMW5 update. Settings also. |
