7899	WXR file as backup for upgrade process	RanYanivHartstein	anonymous	"In WordPress 2.7, before performing an upgrade, users are urged to backup their stuff. This is great.

Immediately after recommending a backup, users are offered to do a ""Backup"" of their blog using the WXR format. This is not great.

The WXR format is far from a comprehensive backup - and using it is no substitute for backing up the database and entire WordPress directory.

Putting the backup button right there in the upgrade screen will make 99% percent of the users think that they actually have a full backup of their blog - and thus never actually do a real backup.

I recommend the current backup button either be replaced with a proper backup function, be properly disclaimed to make sure users are aware that they are not backing up substantial portions of their blog, or simply be removed entirely."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	2.7	Administration		normal	fixed
