When we execute /core/install.php, we can choose : "Reinstall In-Portal", and the text help on the right says :

"Reinstall In-Portal - cleans out your existing In-Portal database and starts with a fresh installation. Note that this operation cannot be undone and no backups are made! Use at your own risk."

  1. why threaten user with such message :"cannot be undone and no backups are made", is a dump isn't too complicated to achieve?
  2. there's no confirmation message when we select this option : it directly destroy all DB, without any confirmation, no security else than this message, while we should help user, rather than letting him going on a wrong action

I'd suggest here to have a warning prompt, and if user validate the re-install, do a dump in backupdata/ folder before cleaning anything.
