 * I’ve been a long time user of the WP-DB Backup plugin but have recently noticed
   that the email backup scheduling feature does not work. I’ve tried scheduling
   a backup multiple times but no database dump is sent to the specified email address.
 * I did a manual backup via email and it was successful. A gzipped .sql dump was
   attached, so nothing host wise is restricting the email.
 * Does the plugin require an update for the 3.x WordPress releases?

 * Some people are finding issues with version 2.2.3, try 2.2.2 and see if that 
   works for you.

 * Thanks for the heads up. I’ll go back to the 2.2.2 release and see if it helps.

 * Turns out the plugin “Maintenance Mode” was preventing the database to be sent
   on a schedule. I had it enabled since I was designing a new theme for my blog
   but since disabling the Maintenance mode plugin and scheduling a daily database
   backup being sent to email it has worked fine.
