Your database can be automatically saved and archived every hour and/or every day, and backups can be emailed to the address you specify. You can also restore the data to your WP DB or an external DB, which makes copying your database to another server and easy task.

Depending on the MySQL server setup the SSL certs used may not be in the trusted store, if that’s the case <code>mysqli_ssl_set()</code> needs to be called to set custom keys and certs before connect. This Plugin adds a custom DB class that allows these settings to be configured via custom constants.
This plugin will also add a custom item on the “At a Glance” section of the Dashboard to show if the <code>$wpdb</code> connection is secure or not.
