I needed something like this, and now I have it =)

Wow, what an awesome idea :D.

what url do we put there?

Question:Why are the edits in template.php? Shouldn't they be in backup.php or something o_O?

Hi Austin Dea,

you should put the url where your backup folder is!

example: http://www.test.de/forums/admin/backup/

But the most important thing is: It works :classic: :D
