 * Backup my site automatically is enabled (daily) and Backup my database only selected.
 * There’s a backup file generated but when opening the SQL shows no content.
 * I tried backing up both files and database and still the same (automatically),
   only the database shows me blank content, but the files are fine.
 * What to do?

 * Hi mikolatz
 * I’d love to get to the bottom of your issue as your not the first to report it,
   but I’ve been completely unable to reproduce it.
 * Could you email [support@humanmade.co.uk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-backupwordpress-database-wont-back-up/support@humanmade.co.uk?output_format=md)
   and we’ll see if we can work out whats going on.
