 * After recent WordPress update 5.7.1 database backup stopped working. Backup is
   created and left on the server without sending it to my email like it supposed
   to do.

 * Hi,
 * Are you still running into issues with this? If the database backup is being 
   created but not sent there may be an issue with the email sending functionality
   of your website. Your host should be able to assist in looking into how the emails
   are being sent.
