 * Really awesome plugin!
    …but could be nice to avoid the need of “Path To mysqldump”
   and “Path To mysql” settings – since some hosting provider doesn’t provide such
   informations – to make it a little more ‘antomatic & user friendly’… Just like
   wp-db-backup does! …no? 😉

 * WP-DB-Backup uses PHP to generate the dump file and hence it does not need to
   know the path to mysqldump. Whereas for WP-DBManager, it is using the native 
   mysqldump to generate it.

 * Yeah, ok, but it’s a pity if your provider doesn’t help you, so an option could
   be welcome…
    🙂 Great plugin in any case!

 * Seems that EZPZ ( [http://goo.gl/4WTqA](http://goo.gl/4WTqA) ) works using mysqldump
   and it works on my hosting where WP-DBManager fails…
    Could it use the same ‘
   code’? (I don’t know what I’m talking about!) Am I right or wrong?
