public static function Backup::applies

1 backup.class.inc public static Backup::applies($target)

Determine if this backup source should be used for a particular target.

This method needs to be implemented by all Backup classes. Up until PHP 7, static methods could not be made abstract. Once PHP 7 is the minimum requirement, this should be made abstract and the function body removed.

Parameters

string $target: The target from which a backup will be created (or restored to). Examples are "db:default" or "config:active".

Return value

boolean:

2 methods override Backup::applies()
