Description for the model

Copies all data of a database (database_id) into another database (target_database_id) of the same web hosting package of the manitu customer account this connection works in, both from manitu_webhosting_web_database_list - e.g. a live shop into a test copy. It runs in the background: ask manitu_workflow_get with the workflow_token until status is done or error. Tables of the target with the same name are replaced; target_clear_first true empties the target first. dump_first (default true) writes both databases into files in the web directory of the package before. Both must be on the same kind of server, and manitu must know both passwords (password_not_stored otherwise). Refused with a conflict when the package cannot be changed now (not_configurable). Ask the customer for an explicit yes first, naming which database is overwritten.
