<ul></ul><p>The Migrate DB plugin, like most database management plugins, does not work nicely with our Multiste installation. Generally, they are made available only to network-wide administrators, because the tools generally are not fine-grained enough to protect against non-super-administrators exporting content to which they don't have proper access.</p>
<p>Ray, are you aware of any existing tools that would let a site admin generate a SQL export of just their site's tables? Would such a thing even be possible, given that some info (like user info) is in global tables?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8932: Add database migration pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/8932?journal_id=346742017-11-22T18:12:27ZTahir Butttbutt@gradcenter.cuny.edu
<ul></ul><p>The backup plugins that work with multisites might be one way to go:</p>

<p>But I am not sure by looking at All-in-One WP Migration and UpdraftPLUS if their multisite support would limit which site a specific user can export.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8932: Add database migration pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/8932?journal_id=347782017-12-01T15:50:41ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<ul><li><strong>Category name</strong> set to <i>WordPress Plugins</i></li><li><strong>Assignee</strong> set to <i>Daniel Jones</i></li><li><strong>Target version</strong> set to <i>Future release</i></li></ul><p>Dan, can I ask you to take a look through some of the more popular backup plugins to find something that meets our needs? We want something that allows administrators of sites within a Multisite installation to make a database export of their own site, but <strong>not</strong> of global content (or others' sites).</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8932: Add database migration pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/8932?journal_id=349182017-12-12T21:39:52ZDaniel Jonesdrjones18@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>I spent some time looking around, and surprisingly I wasn't able to find anything that meets this specific need of a database export, available to the site admin, of just their site on a multisite network.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8932: Add database migration pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/8932?journal_id=349482017-12-14T19:55:40ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

<p>Tahir, it looks like we are going to have a hard time making this work with the existing tools. We could potentially build a tool express-built for this purpose, but on balance, it's probably a better use of our time to manually generate a database export for you when you need one. So, for the time being, please let us know when you need a fresh export (and for which site(s)) and we'll process it manually. Thanks for your patience.</p>
