Description:
it would be nice if you could select complete database and not just all tables in a database for backup

if there is a new table on a database you have to alter the backup job and manually add the new table

with the option 'complete database' the backup will always include all tables, even not existing at the point of the backup job creation.

How to repeat:
create backup job
select all tables in a database
save job
create new table in database
execute backup
see new table missing in created backup file

Suggested fix:
add a new state to the database selection checkbox in the backup content tree

or

add a new element in the backup content tree, right under every database as first element with text "All Tables" - checking it will gray out or collapse all tables in this database

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Administrator into MySQL Workbench. We won't add this feature request anymore.
