Suggestion: Add "DROP TABLE" to the backup job

[Icarus]

I think that the SQL dump generated by the backup process should include a DROP TABLE query before CREATE TABLE
Like:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `table_name`;

Without it, I cannot use the control panel provided by my host, since I am getting an error "table already exists" when using the import function that the host CP provides.

I need to go to phpMyAdmin, delete all tables from the DB, and only then import - this will cause a longer outage to the site than if the sql dump dropped the table itself.

No?

You should detail your needs into the Feature Request. This is the best way for them to be taken into account.

Done, thanks.
