 * I have been trying to use the WP database backup plugin. However, when I try 
   to restore the backups that were created through phpmyadmin, I get this terrible
   error message that I can hardly read let alone interpret! Does anyone have any
   idea what this could mean, and what I should do to make these backups work? Please
   let me know! Thank you.
 * Error
    There is a chance that you may have found a bug in the SQL parser. Please
   examine your query closely, and check that the quotes are correct and not mis-
   matched. Other possible failure causes may be that you are uploading a file with
   binary outside of a quoted text area. You can also try your query on the MySQL
   command line interface. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any,
   may also help you in diagnosing the problem. If you still have problems or if
   the parser fails where the command line interface succeeds, please reduce your
   SQL query input to the single query that causes problems, and submit a bug report
   with the data chunk in the CUT section below: —-BEGIN CUT—- eNpzDQryD7JScDZUcDZS8HH1s1IwUDBUsLDkCg4BCstzcTmHBVspqHimWCkUF
