<p>DBC Backup 2 can give you the confidence that your WordPress database is backed-up and securely stored on your server.</p>
<p>You select when and where your backup will be generated. The backup file is saved to directory on your web server which for many people is free storage and more reliable then saving to your home computer.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Secure – The file name includes some random characters which makes it impossible for someone to guess the backup name and download it.</li>
<li>Safe – the backup directory is protected with a .htaccess and an empty index.html file which means no-one can browse or download the file via the web</li>
<li>Storage – If your server has supports it, you can select between three different compression formats: none, Gzip and Bzip2. </li>
<li>Schedule – you can set hourly, daily, weekly or monthly backup</li>
<li>Manual backup – anytime you want to save a backup before updating WordPress or installing a plugin you can.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Additional Info</h4>
<p>The plugin will try to auto create the export directory.</p>
<p>This plugin creates it’s own sql file and does not use mysqldump like most other plugins.</p>
<p>During backup, a log is created that includes, the generation date, file, filesize, status and the duration of the generation.</p>
<p>The backup files are identical to what phpmyadmin would produce because DBC Backup is using the key procedures of phpmyadmin.</p>
<p>DBC Backup was built to be fast, flexible and as simple as possible.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.adminer.org/" rel="nofollow ugc"><em>Adminer</em></a> is a database administration tool that allows viewing and editing of databases tables, routines, triggers, etc. It also allows running SQL statements to import data, make bulk changes, or perform other complex operations. It is similar in function to <em>phpMyAdmin</em>.  It is intended for use by developers and those who have had experience with databases.</p>
<p>This plugin provides a secure connection to your WordPress database, limited to that which is saved in your WordPress configuration, and access is granted only to logged-in accounts that possess the <code>edit_plugins</code> capability (normally admins). This ensures it can only used by those who already have enough privilege to pose a risk to the installation. Each and every request to Adminer will first be authenticated using your WordPress session. Some security plugins impose extra restrictions on admin sessions, so this plugin may not work if you have one installed.</p>
<p>Note that any other databases on the same host and protected by the same credentials will also be accessible in Adminer. This is how databases operate and not a limitation of Adminer nor this plugin. If other databases need different access restrictions, they should have separate credentials.</p>
<p>It comes with all the themes published in Adminer’s Git repository, so you can select a style that suits you.</p>


Database Access with Adminer

Secure and themed, just what I need. Of course I keep this plugin disabled, and only activate when I need to debug something. As an extra protection =)
