Thats the idea, yes. :)

Working with 4.2.2?

Yes :)

Paul,

I guess you know MySQLDumper. Any chance you could implement something similiar to MSQLD?s FTP-transfer into this mod? I?ld always like to have my backups on a secure location, like a dedicated ftp-server or repository, since our harddrive crashed last year and with it - of course - all of our backups were gone, too. What do you think? Makes sense?

I installed this quite a while back on 4.2.0 and works very well, so well I keep forgetting about it and I keep filling up my HDD is there a way to limit the number of backups or is it just up to me to remember to clean up my backup folder?

Store your sitemaps in a separate partition of your hdd. So, if you forget to delete them, your site will still work. Elseif the hdd where your forum is on is full, your server will have major headaches - and so will you ;)

Downloaded and marked as installed! I have a couple basic questions though. How do I find the back up after it is done? Also should I select yes for combining all tables into one backup file?

I actually have added this functionality to this add-on years ago. I will see if I can release it here. In the mean time, you can check the add-on I published just now which works in conjunction with Paul's add-on.

How would one setup the site to turn off during this backup process? Have a rather large db here (1gb zipped). Would rather have the site off, let the backup run, then turn the site back on.

To be honest if your database is reaching a point where it's getting quite big, you should not rely on such plugin anymore but create your own OS based cronjob. In Linux you can make use of crontabs and create a basic bash script that executes the mysqlbackup command.
