[3.x] chore: remove backup

@alexislefebvre removing the SqliteDatabaseBackup.php makes our tests at least 10x slower. It appeared to be working before, was it just the MySQL backup that wasn't? Would you be willing to restore this functionality (I can do the PR if needed) or is there another configuration option we should be setting to avoid needed to build the Sqlite database with every test?

[alexislefebvre]

@jrjohnson Thanks for the feedback. Is it fixtures loading and/or the tests execution that is 10x slower?

You can revert to 2.9.0 to avoid this issue while we assess the situation.

To avoid creating the schema with every test: use the keep_database_and_schema: true option: https://github.com/liip/LiipTestFixturesBundle/blob/3.x/doc/configuration.md

I'm not sure what is causing the slowdown, I'm just looking at a test run that has been running for almost 3 hours and is less than half way done. The only change was upgrading and removing that config. We'd generally expect all tests to run in less than an hour, for comparison this one, also from this morning took 55 minutes.

I'll try adding the keep_database_and_schema option next, but I don't want to interrupt this run until it completes so we can a full time to finish.

[jrjohnson]

Just adding a note on progress: I'm unable to get test to run at all using the keep_database_and_schema: true option. I created the database and updated it as required in the docs, but I'll need to spend some time figuring out what is missing or not working. Still interested in restoring the previous caching functionality for sure if that's an option.

@alexislefebvre - just to echo what @jrjohnson said: we're keen to keep this functionality, it works seamlessly for us and has done for many years. Unfortunately our repo is private so I can't share details, but happy to help where we can.

same here. Glad to hear that you work on bringing back SqliteDatabaseBackup or the like. Dama is no option for us as it has problems with nested transactions

[alexislefebvre]

Backups have been reverted on an alpha release, please see here to test it and give feedback:

Thanks @alexislefebvre, we updated, looks great!

Ditto, thank you @alexislefebvre. We've just merged it into our prod app.

Thanks!
