# Database Backup Doesn't Work

 * I’ve seen a number of posts here on issues with Backup after the last plugin 
   update. I have also stopped receiving backups by email. Additionally, when I 
   try to manually generate a backup by clicking on the “Create Database Backup”
   button I get redirected to an empty (blank) page. I have adjusted my backup folder’s
   permissions to 777. That didn’t fix the problem.

 * This issue has been reported many times since some months ago (or perhaps a year
   ago). It seems the developer still doesn’t have solution for it. You may need
   to consider to use other backup plugin.
