 * Hi,
    I have installed XCloner on 5 sites. In 4 sites it is working as expected,
   however in one small site, the database SQL-backup is empty as shown below:
 * #
    # Powered by XCloner Site Backup # [http://www.xcloner.com](http://www.xcloner.com)##
   Host: [https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXt.ch](https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXt.ch) # Generation Time:
   Dec 5, 2020 at 16:55 # PHP Version: 7.4.11 # Database Charset: # # Database :`
   enXXXX_wp905` # ——————————————————–
 * #
    # Finished at: Dec 5, 2020 at 16:55 #
 * Name of the database and the table prefix are correct. I can’t find an error 
   message in the log of XCloner. It does not seem to find any tables. However, 
   Backups with Softaculous and with Updraft are working fine, so I assume the problem
   is not with the database.
 * If I do the backup with softaculous, it works and the SQL-backup starts with 
   the following entries:
 * — Softaculous SQL Dump

 * Thank you in advance for your help.

 * Hi,
    The problem remains for 1 out of 5 sites. XCloner displays (0) tables in
   brackets under “Select database data to include in the backup” and cannot save
   schedules on this site. For some reason XCloner does not seem to see the tables
   on this website.
 * For a backup tool this seems to me a bit scary. I suggest to display a warning
   if the size of the SQL dump is smaller than e.g. 5 kB.
