Restoring From A Backup
February 28th, 2007 by Harald Ponce de LeonPosted in osCommerce
Some updates were backported today to the osCommerce 2.2 development branch regarding the Backup Manager section on the Administration Tool.
The problem that was addressed was that the contents of the sessions database table was being restored from an earlier state when the backup was made. This behaviour could introduce a conflict in session data when a database restoration would merge the session data if an earlier session ID is currently in use again.
The chances of this occurring would be rare and has been fixed so that the backup logic does not store the contents of the sessions database table in the sql dump, and the restoration logic clears the sessions table when an import is performed.
The changes here will be included in the next 2.2 Milestone 2 update package, and can be manually performed by reviewing commit r1274.
