 * I have been using Backupwordpress 1.6.8 for two months & everything was backing
   up fine. I usually had a schedule Site + DB backup but also performed manual 
   backup when required.
 * Until I upgraded to 1.6.9, the usual full Site + DB backup no longer contains
   the .sql file.
 * So i uninstalled & reinstalled the old version 1.6.8 but no change.
 * My full backup of Site + DB no longer contains the .sql file.
 * Please help

 * If you switch to database only, does that work?
 * Could you try version 2.0, [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupwordpress-v2-beta-testers-wanted](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/backupwordpress-v2-beta-testers-wanted)

 * Well the issue got resolved after I switched from DB only & site+DB backup back
   and forth multiple times

 * I just installed this plugin (thought I’d try it for a second time) and ran a
   backup for database and files, and there was no sql file in the zip folder. So
   I ran it again for database only and it produced a nice sql file with db name
   and everything.
 * So I switched back to database and files, and found that a long list of about
   15 directories that I had typed in to be excluded were removed from the excludes
   area. That kind of sucked. (The area was grayed out when I switched to database
   only)
 * I don’t think I am going to take the time to type those in again right now, and
   you should have a warning that that is going to happen.
 * Anyway, in spite of that, thank you for taking the time to develop this plugin.

 * Could you try the newly released 2.0.1 and see if that resolves the issues.
