   I have been using your backup hack for quite some time, but just recently lost the ability to connect to database with 1.3. Have you by chance tested it in 1.3 and know the fix? Otherwise I will dig into it sometime and see if I can come up with a solution.

   Nevermind, it was easy enough, just deleted the globals and did some renaming as:
   $server = DB_HOST;
   $loginsql = DB_USER;
   $passsql = DB_PASSWORD;
   $base = DB_NAME;
   are no longer available in wp-config

   I think it would make sense to integrate WordPress’ user authentication into this.

   I had thought about putting 2 and 2 together as well, but this was so simple. If enough people show interest in it again, Ill spend some more time on it.

   I am using your backup and restore script on my WP blog.
   Instead of putting the link in the edit-form, I put it in the admin-footer.php file. I also added a little code to make it so only a certain user level could see the link.
   
5)
echo " — < a href="http://www.dean-logan.com/blog/wp-admin/backup_restore.php" / rel="nofollow" >Backup & Restore< /a>";
?>

   I’m also going to add the restriction to the individual backup pages, incase someone would bypass the link.

   On another note. I modified the pages, so the layout would be the same as the other admin pages. I simply added the admin-header.php include and the admin-footer.php include, put div’s with wrap around the outputs and changed some of the tags. If you want the file updates, let me know.

   <?php if ($user_level > 5)
   echo "&nbsp;&#8212;&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.dean-logan.com/blog.....estore.php\" />Backup &amp;
   Restore</a>";
   ?>

   errr… html messup

   Hey thanks Dean!! I am sure a lot of users will appreciate your modifications! If you would not mind, could you do small write up in a text file and email it to me? I will add it to the hack zip file.
   Thanks again!

   just an FYI, the 2nd download link is incorrect; it currently links to a php page (and a 404) and should link to a zip file:
