This plugin creates SQL dumps of your wordpress database. It is based on the WordPress Database Backup plugin(http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup) – but it removes some of the security restrictions in the plugin to enable automated remote backups. You still need the admin user name and password to do a remote backup.
<h3>How to Use</h3>
One the plugin is enabled, you create a backup by going to Manage > DB Backup. You can download the backups to your system or you can leave it on the server.

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.
