Hi Omar, This sounds nice. You might also find some good info on http:// cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/fbu/ which is a file backup module by Robert Douglass. We were going to do some things w/ FBU back in March but did not get around to it. It has some pear package dependencies. (side note - then again i think there's a module to let you add pear package support to drupal w/o needing to install on server itself.) I think the idea of FBU is for backing up the /files/ directory which has the potential for lots of new data on daily basis. What if dbbackup could write to something in /files/dbbackup/ (and maybe rotate out every week or X number days so you can keep a week's worth of dbbackups locally, and then you have the module let you backup /files/ and send it off to email/ftp/etc.? I think this can be pretty valuable, esp. for where you don't have backup routines setup server-wide (like w/ shared hosting) as well as you could do one-click on-demand button to backup your entire site, if you're about to try/test something :) sounds very handy.

2. I have some features like: -- scheduled backups -- you can define multiple backup locations like: -- have them sent to your e-mail -- mirror your db to another mysql server to a specific db or create a new db for every backup -- stored on remote FTP -- a folder under files/ in your drupal
