Requires at least: 3.6.0

On-demand backup of your WordPress database.

== Description ==

Released under the terms of the GNU GPL, version 2.

== Installation ==

1. Extract the wp-db-backup/ folder file to /wp-content/plugins/

1. Activate the plugin at your blog's Admin -> Plugins screen

1. The plugin will attempt to create a directory /wp-content/backup-*/ inside your WordPress directory.

1. You may need to make /wp-content writable (at least temporarily) for it to create this directory.

   For example:

   `$ cd /wordpress/`

   `$ chgrp www-data wp-content` (where "`www-data`" is the group your FTP client uses)

   `$ chmod g+w wp-content`

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I restore my database from a backup? =

Briefly, use phpMyAdmin, which is included with most hosting control panels. More details and links to further explanations are [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup).

= My backup stops or hangs without completing. =

If you edit the text of wp-db-backup.php in a text editor like Notepad, you’ll see around line 50 the following:

`/**

* if the backup stops prematurely.

*/

= What is wp-db-backup.pot for? =

http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-db-backup/i18n/

= Why are only the core database files backed up by default? =

== Usage ==

1. Click the Tools or Manage menu in your WordPress admin area.

1. Click the Backup sub-menu.

1. The plugin will look for other tables in the same database.  You may elect to include other tables in the backup.

  ** NOTE **

  Including other tables in your backup may substantially increase the size of the backup file!

  This may prevent you from emailing the backup file because it's too big.

1. Select how you'd like the backup to be delivered:

* Download to your computer : this will send the backup file to your browser to be downloaded

* Email : this will email the backup file to the address you specify

1. Click "Backup!" and your database backup will be delivered to you.

The filename of the backup file will be of the form

   DB_prefix_date.sql

DB = the name of your WordPress database, as defined in wp-config.php

prefix = the table prefix for this WordPress blog, as defined in wp-config.php

date = CCYYmmdd_B format:  20050711_039

       the "B" is the internet "Swatch" time.

       See the PHP date() function for details.

When having the database backup emailed or sent to your browser for immediate download, the backup file will be _deleted_ from the server when the transfer is finished.
