All versions come now with english, french and now german translation files (thanks to Nathalie Laurent (n-at-work.net) for this german translation).
Its purpose is to backup your Joomla! database and send the backup file by e-mail. One parameter allows you to deactivate the e-mail feature; the backup files are then kept in a special folder which you can download by FTP when needed.
Version 1.5.5 for Joomla! 1.5
Version 1.6.5a for Joomla! 1.6 and 1.7.0
Version 2.5.0a for Joomla! 1.6/1.7/2.5

Fortunately I installed it on a bad server where normal access to my database was impossible & normal scheduled backups were corrupted.
It saved me a lot of time moving the site on another host & locally.
It's a must have.
Now it could have a button to clearly choose between mail or hosted backup.

Thank you, this is indeed a very very good extension, indispensable for any joomla based site.
If my memory serves me correctly, LazyDbBackup was introduced on January 29, 2011 based on the excellent plugin called LazyBackup developed by Stefan Granholm. A great moment in Joomla plugin history.
Robert Gastaud, the developer of the latest iteration of the plugin, has done the Joomla community a great service by updating this extremely useful plugin to backup your Joomla databases.
We use it for all our sites to automatically backup the database once a week by email, which we use for our local backups running on WAMP.
A big thanks to both developers for writing such a high quality and reliable piece of software.
