 * Loving this plug in but is there any way for the database to automatically back
   up to my computer on a regular basis. In the case of a power outage etc I would
   still have the last updated copy of the database.

 * Install a good WP backup plugin. It will back up all the tables in the WP database,
   including the plugin’s data.

 * I actually want it to download automatically to my computer (apple pages format),
   is that possible?

 * Yes, you can use the “CSV Export” on the “list Participants” page in the admin.
   You’ll need to configure the fields you want included in the export, the “CSV”
   must be checked for the field in order for it to be included. This happens in
   the Manage Database Fields page..

 * I was interested in a way to automatically download it. Users input the details
   on to the database, so if there was a power outage or internet problems I would
   have the latest version hard copy on my Macbook.

 * OK, under most circumstances that won’t be possible, unless you want to set up
   your local computer to be available via FTP or SSH. It’s much easier to use a
   backup plugin to store your backups on another server.
