stronk7 70bbfd3186 Scheduled backup improvements:
- Old (>4 hour) directories are deleted at the beginning of the
  execution, so the disk full problem should be out!
- There are 2 types of errors:
    - Controlled errors: The backup process finish although something
        has been wrong.
    - Uncontrolled errors: The backup process dies (memory fault, apache
        problem, electric problem...:-)).
- Now scheduled backup is able to detect previous uncontrolled errors to
  avoid repeating the same course always. It'll be deferred to the next
  execution.
- Every time that a backup cycle has finished, admins will receive an email
  with the summary of the execution.
- The 'ERROR' text will be present in email subjects if something was wrong.

With this, all should be ok (I hope).

----------

This directory contains my try to create a backup/recover 
admin option to moodle. I don't know when and how it'll be 
finished, but I'going to try it, sure.

Some day, if this is fully functional, it could be integrated 
into the main Moodle distribution (ask uncle Martin).   :-)

Code here may not be tested - so there are no guarantees as
to the quality of the code in here, even if part of a stable
Moodle release.

Please, for any comment about this option, do it in Moodle
Developer Forum at:
   
   http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=55
   (searching an "backup" topic) 

or you can put tour comments in Moodel Bugs at: 

   http://moodle.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=84.

All comments will be welcome. TIA.

To see the general status of the utility, take a look to
"STATUS.txt" in this directory.

And this is all, I start with it NOW.
