I have been using your plugin for some time and have been very impressed by how easy it is to setup and how reliably it works.
In fact, I would like to use this plugin to backup databases that are not part of the wordpress db. In effect, use this as a one stop backup solution for all databases on a hosted server. There are currently five different databases on the server and if there was a way to back all these up using this plugin the extra security and simplicity would be fantastic.
If you could suggest a way that this could be done I would be extremely grateful for any help that you could provide.
Hi Filosofo,

Thank you in advance,

I'm afraid that doing this would involve significant changes to the plugin, as it just uses WordPress's default database object.
If you know a little PHP, you could do this by changing all instances of "
$wpdb" to some other name and then instantiate that variable like so:$my_db_name = new wpdb('username', 'password', 'databasename', 'host');RSS feed for this topic
