Professional resolves problems ASAP as Ugo does. <br>I walked through the 0.1.0 version code today and confirm that problem with myeasybackup.ini file was resolved in this version. Blog credentials needed Ugo to restore blog data from the backup copy is stored now as reliably as WordPress itself does with its own wp-config.php configuration file. <br>Another issue from that aggressive wordpress support forum post: myeasybackup plugin uses a few images which are hosted at his <a href="http://myeasywp.com" rel="nofollow">myeasywp.com</a> site. Yes he can know what sites use his plugin with that. Is it bad? I think know. There are much more efficient and more hidden from the most of users ways to get that information. It is just a favour from his side, I think. <br><br>Regards,<br>Vladimir. Hi,
thanks for the question.

is this plugin now really safe enough to use or not?
I read a comment here bringing up some issues. Not being a programmer myself I can't judge it. Is the .ini file accessible to others?
Thanks
