Hi,
I use xcloner to backup my databases, the WP-DB and two more. The login credentials provided in the xcloner backend allow access to all these DBs and I can also choose them to be backed up setting up my cron. They are even listed when I access the cron-PHP file, but since a few months (it took me some time to notice that) they are not in the tar-file on the server or in the one sent to me via email.
Any idea what might be the problem there? Bellow you'll find the output of the cron-PHP, if you need more information, let me know.
XCloner 3.0.4, WP 3.3, PHP 5.3.5, MySQL 5.0.91, Apache 2.2.9
Using configs/db_only_email.php as configuration file

Can you tell us what is the content of the administrator/backups/ folder from inside the backup archive, or post here a screenshot?

Are you by any chance excluding the administrator/backups/ folder when creating that backup? I've tested here the process and it works without issues for additional databases, so only if you directly exclude that folder, might explain why the other database don't get included in the backup archive.

Actually, I'm not excluding any folders - the list is empty and the backup-type is "Database only".
Could the option "Add MySQL Drop" make any difference?
From the "Info" tab:
Temporary Folder /home/www/blog/administrator/backups is writeable
Backup Start Path /home/www/blog/ is readable
Backup Path: /home/backup/ is writeable
Tar utility server path: /bin/tar
Mysqldump utility server path: /usr/bin/mysqldump

That option doesn't affect the databases included in the backup, it only adds a DROP mysql query to the created tables backup.
If you like, feel free to open a support ticket and i can take a look at the issue and fix it if it's the case.
