 * I’m trying to backup my database so I can update to 3.9.2 and subsequently do
   auto-updates thereafter. The instructions for downloading the plugin file ( 2.1)
   says that it should be placed into my wp-content/plugins/ folder. How do I locate
   such folder?
 * When I download the database backup plugin, it already comes in its own zipped
   folder called wp-database-backup/ but I don’t know if I’m supposed to 1) change
   this folder’s name to wp-content/plugins/ or if I’m supposed to 2) find some 
   other folder called wp-content/plugins/ and then unzip the wp-database-backup/
   folder into it. If I’m supposed to do option 2) I don’t know where to find the
   wp-database-backup/ folder.
 * I just want to be sure that I do the process correctly so that I can successfully
   activate the plugin through the WP Plugins menu and get it to appear in Dashboard—
   >Tool—>WP–DB–Backup when I’m ready to use it. I’m concerned about site security
   and want to update to 3.9.2 immediately, but don’t want to do so without backing
   up the DB first.
 * It’s very frustrating not knowing how to move forward or being able to find clear
   directions that I can understand. Can someone please help?
