 * Hi,
 * I’m using WordPress 3.0 + MySQL 5.1.48, with the latest version of wp-dbmanager.
   It all works fine expect for the automatic backup/optimization part. When I set
   the period for backup/optimization in the DB Options page, after I click “Save
   changes” the next backup/optimization date would turn to be the time I click 
   the button.
 * Is anyone met this before? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 * Raiden,

 * It will be the time you click the save button so it will backup at that time 
   and once it is successful, the next backup date will change

 * The thing is that it never backs up the database when I click the button. However,
   manual backup is successful.

 * I’m having exactly the same problem as raidenli. Plugin stopped functioning.
   
   I run wp on linux. All the updates for plugin and wp are ok. Automatic Backing
   Up Of DB: Next backup date: shows the time I last used “Save changes”. However
   the plugin works fine on another server.

 * Same exact issue here as the others have described. I have a second website, 
   running on the very same Linux server, which does do the WP-DBManager auto backups
   correctly. Not sure why they backup automatically on one site and not the other–
   the sites are configured exactly the same.
