 * My scheduled database backups are still being sent as indicated by settings but
   after Monday, they don’t have the ‘.sql’ file attached. Since I noticed the email
   didn’t have the attached DB file, I tried manually clicking the “Create a Database
   Backup” from iThemes Security Dashboard settings, but still receive a blank email(
   without a db file attached).
 * This also happens on another site and also started after the same timeframe (
   After the previous version update(s) (same version for each site))
 * System details:
    iThemes Security Version 5.8.0 Affected sites: [https://eyemagicgraphics.com](https://eyemagicgraphics.com)
   AND [https://shop.robertscalesministries.org](https://shop.robertscalesministries.org)
 * Apologies if I’ve left out anything pertinent here
