To be able to chance the backup system to use mysqldump -f
Open Discussion
As a server administrator, I would like to be able to pass a flag to the pkgacct script that would trigger it running a forced MySQL dump of the databases, and allowing me to take an account backup even if my customer’s databases are corrupt.
I like this idea 
cPanel, WebHost Manager and WHM are registered trademarks of cPanel, L.L.C. for providing its computer software that facilitates the management and configuration of Internet web servers.
I agree to this request. My customer has lost 4 years of his work because db dump made by cpanel was partial. Mysqldump by default stops after an error. With flag --force it completes dump process event in case of errors.
For now I have find a workaround, flags to mysqldump can be set on this file: /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Pkgacct/Components/Mysql.pm around line 120.
But I think this could be setted by default.
