Plugin Description
WordPress Backup to Dropbox has been created to give you peace of mind that your blog is backed up on a regular basis.

and a SQL dump of its database to be dropped in your Dropbox!
You can set where you want your backup stored within Dropbox and on your server as well as choose what files or directories,
if any, you wish to exclude from the backup.

Errors and Warnings
During the backup process the plugin may experience problems that will be raised as an error or a warning depending on
its severity.
A warning will be raised if your PHP installation is running in safe mode, if you get this warning please read my blog
post on dealing with this.
If the backup encounters a file that is larger then what can be safely handheld within the memory limit of your PHP
installation, or the file fails to upload to Dropbox it will be skipped and a warning will be raised.
The plugin attempts to recover from an error that may occur during a backup where backup process goes away for an unknown
reason. In this case the backup will be restarted from where it left off. Unfortunately, at this time, it cannot recover
from other errors, however a message should be displayed informing you of the reason for failure.
