WP-DbManager? if so, that only backs up the database. I believe a cpanel backup backs up everything on your server account, so probably a better option for you. Which plugin are you referring to Ken?

QUESTION: Is running cpanel backups just as good as using this plugin? In other words, is it essentially the same thing? Michael,

I run manual backups every evening through my sites’ cpanel and then download a local copy when I’m done.

QUESTION: Is running cpanel backups just as good as using this plugin? In other words, is it essentially the same thing?

After being hacked 2 x in one month (don't know yet if it had anything to do with this plug-in) I'm feeling very cautious. Still, it sure is convenient, so I'm going to look further.

LOL I installed DB Manager just now and got this error, of course: "Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home/moi/public_html/wp-content/backup-db". I already use WP DB backup & the plugin backup. I guess I'll call Hostgayor and see if they can help me out. LOL Anything to do with the .htaccess file scares the bejeebus out of me.
