If not feel free to use it without any obligations. = Disclaimer = * Note that this plugin passes your datababase password via --password in the command line of mysqldump. This is convenient but as a trade off, it is insecure. * On some systems, your password becomes visible to system status programs such as ps that may be invoked by other users to display command lines. MySQL clients typically overwrite the command-line password argument with zeros during their initialization sequence. However, there is still a brief interval during which the value is visible. Also, on some systems this overwriting strategy is ineffective and the password remains visible to ps.

You can try to narrow the problem by Debugging via SSH: 1. In `wp-dbmanager.php` 2. Find `check_backup_files();` on line 246 3. Add below it `echo $command;` 4. Go to `WP-Admin -> Database -> Backup` 5. Click `Backup` 6. It should print some debugging statements 7. Copy that line than run it in SSH 8. If you need help on SSH contact your host or google for more info = What is the difference between WP-DBManager and WP-DB-Backup? = * WP-DBManager uses `mysqldump` application to generate the backup and `mysql` application to restore them via shell. * WP-DB-Backup uses PHP to generate the backup. In some cases WP-DB-Backup will work better for you because it requires less permissions. Not all host allows you to access mysqldump/mysql directly via shell. * WP-DBManager allows you to have automatic optimizing and repairing of database on top of backing up of database. = Why do I get the message "Warning: Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public!"? = * Ensure that you have renamed `htaccess.txt` to `.htaccess` and placed it in your backup folder (defaults to `wp-content/backup-db/`) * If you are 100% sure you have did that and have verfied that the folder no longer is accessible to the public by visiting the URL `http://yousite.com/wp-content/backup-db/`, you can safely disable the notice by going to `WP-Admin -> Database -> DB Options` and set `Hide Admin Notices` to `Yes`.
