Cliff Notes: I would like to request that any folders containing core PHP files not be named with either "cache", "backups" or "backup". This caused some server issues for me today when my host restored my shared server.
Full Story: My shared server kicked the bucket a few days ago and my host was forced to restore a copy of it. This took a while for them to perform, but when it was finished, none of my sites worked! After a long day of trouble shooting, it came down to missing files from the Gantry Framework. The missing files all lived in com_gantry\core\utilities\cache\
It turns out that when my host backs up their servers, they exclude files that live in any folders named "cache", "backup" or "backups". They do this for obvious reasons, but it's still frustrating. I'm working with them to resolve, but I thought I would bring it up here in case the RT Team was interested in implementing a fix.

Update: I just got this back from my host, it's a complete list of folders they ignore:
# don't copy any obvious backups - **/backups/** - **/backup/** - **/bkup/** - **/bkups/** - **/BWFTP/** # don't copy anything inside a cache or tmp directory - **/cache/** - **/tmp/** - **/temp/** - **/xml_cache/**

- hmmm.. we'll have to evaluate the implications of changing those folder names, but thanks for bringing it to our attention.
