DB Backup by Fairshare.tech

DB Backup by Fairshare.tech lets you create automated WordPress database backups on your preferred schedule. It uses mysqldump if available for fast and reliable backups, and falls back to a PHP-based method if mysqldump is unavailable.

Backups are stored securely in your wp-content/uploads/db_backup/ directory, and you can choose to have them emailed to your admin email address. The plugin provides a settings page for configuration and supports triggering backups via a real cron job for reliability.
