 * Hi there,
 * Wonderful plugin, thanks!
 * I have one thing that doesn’t work (version 3.4.2/3): When backing up and having
   the database sent to the admin’s email address, only the email itself arrives,
   not the database. Any idea why?
 * Thanks in advance!
    Tom

 * It is probably related to your smtp server. A number of hosts have limited the
   ability to attach such backups in recent weeks. Watch for the ability to send
   it to DropBox instead this fall.
