Removed features
It's no longer possible to dump all databases in a single file
Copying the lastest dump in the latest/ directory is no longer supported
Specifying the databases names to dump during the montly backup is no longer supported
It is no longer supported to send backup files by email (MAILCONTENT=files). It was anyway probably not a good idea to send backup files by email (for various reasons: file size, privacy, data leaks, etc.) but I guess that it could easily be implemented in a POSTBACKUP script if needed.
