NOTES #

• You need to define and activate at least one storage device in Data Backup Settings to use the Data Backup tool
• Data backup files can be written to a local folder or a Dropbox folder
• To write backup files to your Dropbox you must first grant access to the WP Data Access Dropbox app (which does not yet have production status)
• Exported SQL files can be imported into a WordPress database with a different table prefix. The WordPress table prefix is replaced during export by variable {wp_prefix}, which is replaced by the WordPress table prefix on import. If you want to use another tool for import, disable the checkbox “Export with variable WP prefix” in Back-End Settings on the Manage Plugin page. With “Export with variable WP prefix” disabled full table names will be written to the export file.
