 * I simply love this plugin, but can not seem to get it to backup the sql database.
   I do not see any errors in the server logs or the plugin logs, all the other 
   files seem to be uploading to dropbox just fine. I have included a copy of the
   plugin log below.
 * Would the sqldump not be in the root of the app folder with the other site files
   that are backed up?
 * Thanks,

 * The two SQL dump files are written to ‘wp-content/backups’ and will be uploaded
   to Dropbox within this directory.

 * Yea, I never could get it to create the sql backups and never seen a log error
   or anything. I just wrote a cron backup script to copy it to my mounted dropbox.
   Thanks for the plugin though, will try it again one day and see if it does it
   🙂
 * Cheers!

 * I have this same problem. The log indicates that the sql is being backed-up but
   it does not appear in the App/wpb2d/wp-content/backups folder in my dropbox. 
   There are no indication of errors in the log. I also checked the backups folder
   under wp-content on my website, the only thing there is the log file.
 * -server configuration-
    Wordpress: 3.4.1 php: 5.2.9 wpb2d: 1.4.2
 * I see that my server has the rather old php version 5.2.9 could that be a factor?
