    Is using the wp db backup plugin the same as downloading your sql db from your host? I’m transferring my sites from an incompetent hosting service and the sql db’s that i’ve downloaded are all zero bites so I was curious as to whether this plugin would be the same as downloading the db from the host?

  • it will down load the same content but should not be 0 byte
    if moving, I would export back up from phpmyadmin

    Will the backup plugin work as well as exporting from phpmyadmin? I’m moving hosts..requested a back up 10 days ago…just called my host and apparently I never spoke to a supervisor or even made a request for my db’s and seriously am tired of the lying and running around chasing these ppl..I’ve tried exporting it myself but results in zero bytes…i’m really frustrated and in need of dire help.

    My nightmare host is 1and1.com if you could point me to an actual tutorial for 1and1.com db export i’ll take that too..all i find is stuff on how to import to them.

    contact me and I’ll do the export and email it to you – if you’re getting 0 bytes it won’t help you
