Hello!
By “locally” I meant that the MySQL server with the WP database is on the same server as the WordPress site, unlike the situation that animagic posted about earlier. The server is a virtual machine at Codero. It is not physically in my office, but the VM is all mine; it does not host anything else.

Thank you. That is an interesting post, but animagic’s problem never got resolved. In my case, the cron job is firing and is logging events in the wp-security-log-cron-job.txt file, but no backup file appears in the backups folder. Manual backups by All-In-One do not work either. I can use mysqldump from a command line okay. The environment is a single Apache web server hosting one WordPress site with MySQL installed locally on the same server. Could it be a PHP problem?
