This is an easy-to-use and promising extension. However I faced the following problems. And sorry for the lengthy review, but I faced these problems on several sites that I'm running, and I feel that I should report them so that the programmer rectifies the situation in the coming releases.

1. Although I entered the absolute path (/home/mysite/public_html/my_backup_folder), and the directory is writeable (755), no database is saved!
The check file is there is the folder, but not backup takes place.

2. The only thing I get is email backup, which is fine, except for the fact that it never backs up my database until I edit the lazybackup plugin. (Although I don't change any setting, I just need to click edit, and then save, and an email is sent to me with the database). If I don't do that, it will never backup my database.

NB:
- I set the plugin to backup the database once daily.
- "Make backup always on admin page refresh" option is set to "no".

3. I have a site that is in Arabic, and the database backup is a mess, the Arabic characters are saved as strange characters.

Thanks.

Thank you for this great plugin, but I was very suprised and sad when I wanted to restore because of don't work at all ! UTF8 is no supported....

Great concept, and should be simple but i can't get it to work right. Its creating backups but not sending me emails of the backups. Tried contacting the developer but there's no response...

simple, and very usefull plugin!

what I apreciate most is that the plugin works without having to start a LINK like the JBackup plugin did.

a small issue is the default value for 'Backup path' which was set to root which didn't worked for me on my host. But nevertheless after fixing that small start-issue the plugin works just perfect.

This plugin worked out of the box. Just install and set the params, enter your email address, and voila, you start getting backups! It's that easy! Awesome Plugin. Highly recommend it to every one!!

This plug-in does its job.

Thanks!

This tool does what it's supposed to do.

Can you please add the possibility to disable sending the backup by mail to the admin in case there is no email address entered in the params?

Thx, and keep up the good work!

For real, I love this component. I have used it on all the sites I have built, however, I have to remain with version 1.3 since the new 2.x version breaks my sites access to RsForms! Can't seem to find anyone else with this problem, but it has happened on each and every site I have done. Remove 2.x and install 1.3 and behold! Everything works Great!

So very...easy...to setup!!, you will can't finding better then this..

For those who comes from a country without RONSEAL the slogan is "Does EXACTLY what it says on the tin"

BRAVO MAESTRO!!!
It is the best solution to hedge such risks as hacking, deleting your information... Everyone should use it

Took forever to configure, a whole 10 seconds!

Use JoomlaPack for total backup and LazyBackup for daily backup.

This plugin is the easiest and quickest plugin to use and get going. This is an asset for any website that has data.

for a busy site it is perfect , for slow site it is prefect too :) , thank you for this plug. Can u imagine if you are responsible for 5 busy website , i have notice something weird i have received the backup in my email box like 5 times , even i set Backup x times a day to 1, it seems like it stopped by now but i don't know after i finish this review i will get more zipped backups or not , however this it still 5 stars , thank you again

This is a plugin everyone should use. It saves me alot of time from manually backing up my site every day. And its saved online on my email account so I can't lose it that easily!

You cant go with out this plugin. Install it, enable it and it send you backups of your database as often as you like. Great if you have over 40 sites to worry about. This takes all the worry about having to do it manually...

Great work guys, hope to see another great extension soon.

Thanks to LazyBackup I could restore the entire site - articles and all - within few seconds.

As a tool I used PhPMyAdmin.

This really saved me from doing God knows how many hours of work with restoring and rewriting all the articles I've published, and from now on I will sleep much more easier, knowing that backup is taken care of!

First all. Thank you Stefan for developing this. Secondly, thank you for giving it for free. This could have been a commercial product because it's very easy to use with many features.

What else can you ask for?
-Easy install.
-Easy to configure.
-It can save SQL db to the local website.
-It can even email db to your email address (zipped) everyday if you want.
-FREE

AWESOME!! Very good work. Thanks again.

I have numerous Joomla! sites that I'm responsible for. I could set up some scheduled jobs to make backups and save them to a certain location... bla bla bla... but in this environment, time is always at a premium and these things, more than not, end happening later than sooner. HOWEVER! With this little gem, I can install it, set it up to send to my "backup@" email address, and forget about it. Excellent work!
