Maybe they enjoy / like that other guys get sad / mad.

PS.: That was a joke, just to clarify it.^^

Check the log files. Seems like a service got an issue.

Check the log files. Without proper information, there is no way to help you.

Either save the configuration and reinstall it or check the log file.

apt-mark showhold and unhold if necessary.

Well, I just checked to be sure and its exactly as it supposed to be.

Nuxwin did what he did, because the backup and restore function should simply restore files and databases as like nothing happened. If the database as an example is currupted and the person doesnt know to how to fix it, he/she simply restores the backup and everything works again. Just one or two clicks.

With a default mysql backup (you can still go to advanced and set the two options to drop and re-create the database yourself), it doesnt contain these lines which drop and re-create the database. Means that the person in need needs to to additional tasks.

Your assumption includes that someone wants to restore something in a way it wasnt before. Means he/she knows what he/she does and if not, its actually their own mistake not to check something before doing anything to a live-system.

If you want to restore only parts of it, you take a look at the backup and not just blindly do something.

What kess said is actually correct and it shouldnt be changed SINCE the automated backup system is there that you can simply undo any mistakes or tests you did (or whatever).

The purpose of that backup and restore system is that its easy to use and that it restores data so that seemingly nothing happened.

If you want something else, do a manual backup (or own automated backups). If you gonna use backups from an another system (not backups you done yourself) and want them restore manually you always NEED to check that file is useable or if something needs to be done.

So yes, it might be interesting to be able to chose how and what from the backup gets restored but if you are in the situation that you only partially need to restore it you will ALWAYS do it manually.

Apart from the fact that arguing about the price won't get you far:

php 7.3 isnt supported yet.

From the time table Nuxwin posted, the plugin isnt updated yet. I think that refers to the 3.0 version, but from my understanding is that there are currently more important things to be taken care of than another update for a plugin which wont be free anymore in the future.^^
