 * Hi – Thanks for a really nice backup plugin. Since last few weeks, my automatic
   scheduled full site backups do not include database backup (they only show plugins,
   themes, uploads, and others), I have re-checked the settings and all backup file
   options are checked, only the following are excluded from backups, :
 * upgrade,cache,updraft,backup*,*backups,mysql.sql,debug.log,wp-clone
 * When I do a manual full site backup, and select the database checkbox option 
   in the subsequent pop up, the full site backup works correctly. Can you pls guide
   on this?
 * Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
 * Best,
    Ambuj

 * Hi Ambuj,
 * Please could you send us a copy of the backup log where the database was not 
   included in the backup? This can be found in the UpdraftPlus Existing Backups
   tab.
 * The contents will be too long to post here directly, but you can use an online
   service such as Dropbox or Pastebin, and post the link here.
 * Best Wishes,
    Bryle

   Last i can see is the time i fully backup manually. I could see some back up 
   are not complete. but all completed backup contains only plugins and themes, 
   No database, uploads and others.
 * It is been more than 15days my site is not backing up fully. Could you please
   help why it is not working.
 * Another point, i set retain backup setting as 2 but it is keep building backups
   and not removing it.
 * Thanks,
