LazyBackup automatically backups your SQL Database. It gives me peace of mind that this is done automatically each day and saved to my Joomla Directory and also emailed to me.

It makes an excellent companion with SQL Dumper that peforms manual backups and restores, which I also highly recommend.

I am a NewB to Joomla, and I had no problem at all getting either the plugin or the module working the first time. I used Jumi to insert JS in content where I wanted to activate pop-ups, e.g.
