[Plugin: WP-DB-Backup] Plugin stop working after 2.9.2 upgrade

Count me as another user whose backup plugin periodically breaks and doesn’t backup. Any suggestions on another plugin for backing up?

I think it’s great that developers post their plugins for free use – and I’m glad to contribute when I find a useful utility. But I can’t understand why this plugin is so highly rated when so many people have the same problem and the author never responds. (Not that he’s got any obligation – I get that. But no one made him publish it. Why do this if you’re not going to support it?)
