 * I have been using this plugin for years. I had Version 3.6.4 installed and never
   got any requests to update to a later version yet the current downloadable version
   is now 3.10.0.
 * In any case. 3.6.4 worked fine and I was able to download backups from the Backup
   page and restore from backup.
 * I moved to a new server this week and after the first backup on the new server,
   the ability to download the backup from a link on the Backup page disappeared.
   I downloaded the backup file via FTP. I also updated to 3.10 but after a manual
   backup, it didn’t make any difference. That link to download was removed.
 * Looking through the last few months of *unanswered* support requests, the new
   company that took over the plugin apparently abandoned it about five months ago.
 * Sad.
 * Off to look for a replacement…
