 * Hi, I realize this plugin has not been updated for the current version of WordPress.
   However, it is working fine on 5 of my websites. On a different site, though,
   It WAS working up until the 16th of this month. I had the backups saved to my
   Dropbox.
 * it is giving an error. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. The configuration
   screen is different on this site – all the text/fields to configure is over on
   the far right side of the admin screen instead of directly below menu choices.
   I also can’t choose how many backups to keep anymore. AND… I cannot create a 
   database backup.
 * It gives this error when I click Create a Database backup:
    Fatal error: Allowed
   memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in /home/
   mentor/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2255
 * I realize you might not support this because of my new WP version, but hoping
   you might have some sort of idea what has happened.

 * Hey!
 * It just means you’ll need more php memory assigned. Contact your host and ask
   them to increase it from 256 MB to a bit more.
    Thanks
