 * Last time I backed up, was 2/28/13. I’m hosted at godaddy.
    Then I decided to
   restore to my localhost, so I thought I would do another backup today. (Especially
   since I had updated wordpress, my theme and about 17 plugins, plus some bloggers
   had left comments)
 * I can see that many of my dropbox files have today’s date now (3/6/13) but the
   sql files still have 2/28/13 as the date. Does this mean the sql dump didn’t 
   get backed up? why? How can I force the sql file to back up?

 * You SQL files should be backed up each time.
 * What are their size?

 * Hi Michael,
    the back up took a long time, over 12 hours. Eventually it did update.
   Thanks for the great app, it’s the bomb!
 * Seriously, I had tried other backup apps and they all made me crazy.
    I guess
   that’s why I’m a bit skittish about backups in general now.
