 * Having just upgraded to v2.0 from 1.5.2 on a test site – before I do it on a 
   real site – I was expecting to find a database backup plugin as mentioned in 
   the official blurb on features and benefits. There isn’t one. Could someone tell
   me why not and if not where do I get one?

 * It’s in there, but if you did an upgrade, you may NOT have overwritten your wp-
   content directory. If you dive into the newly-downloaded wordpress/wp-content/
   plugins you’ll find a file called wp-db-backup.php. Upload it to your plugins
   directory and activate it, and you’re set.

 * That’ll be it. Thanks.
