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.

I was on the verge of saying that this component in almost perfect, but I tried it on several sites, and one I exceed 7 or 8 fields, the users get this error message once they submit it:
Illegal variable _files or _env or _get or _post or _cookie or _server or _session or globals passed to script.
Suggestions for future releases:
- I hope a button in added to copy forms and fields, to eliminate repetition.
- csv backup does not support Arabic
- I hope there is a way to grasp the sender's IP address.
- I'm using it for e-exams, so I hope that there is hidden field (other than lables because it is viewable in the page source) where I can put the answers of the question, so when I view the student answers or the notification emails, I have the model answers next to the students' so that I can compare.
But all in all, a very nice and easy to use component!

Great extension. It made my life easier! :)
I'm facing a small problem. Once I approve the articles, I have to go to go to the control panel again to tick "front page" option.
All approved articles are not published on the front page. Is there a way to make them approved (published) + on front page?
Thanks and keep up the good work!

Great job.
Suggestions:
1- Some users would add hundreds of links.
So, it's a good idea to let the admin (or maybe the users also) set a number of links to appear, and after that a "NEXT" link appears at the end of the column and the user can click to see the rest of his/her added articles.
2- Do you consider allowing member to choose a folder to save the link in? That would be really really handy.
Keep it up!
