 * Is there a way or is there plans to have WP Backup to DP create z ZIP file? I
   would donate some money for that.

 * Gday Mark,
 * There are no immediate plans. However I think zipping will be a good feature 
   if I can find an efficient way of doing so.
 * What would you like zipped? The DB dump? The website? or both?
 * Cheers,
    Mikey

 * I think probably allowing us to select what to include in the zip file (gz, tar,
   whatever) just like you asked via radio buttons.
 * ° DB SQL Dump
    ° All Files • Both (SQL Dump and Site files)
 * And default to both.

 * zipping the sql file makes the most sense since it is dumped when every backup
   is made.

 * I think the option to zip or gzip the DB file is an **_excellent_** idea. I’m
   looking around for a better blog backup plugin, and I love the idea of being 
   able to back my blog up to my dropbox account. I may well give this plugin a 
   try – but FWIW, if it had already had a DB compression option, my search would
   have been over.
