    Hi everyone, was hoping perhaps someone might have some insight. I'm trying to backup the database for my Wordpress site. When I do a backup for it through the Cpanel, what I get is only 20 bytes. The Cpanel says the database should be 10 megs...So what gives? I haven't ran into this issue before so I'm not really sure how to proceed. Thank you in advance for any suggestions! :)

    The database size depends upon the size of your blog size. Bigger blogs will have huge size .. like that.

    why don't you use the plugin to schedule the database backup automatically ... ???
