I just installed wp-db-admin 2.2.3 DE-Edition on Wordpress 3.2.1 on Win2k Server which we are hosting by ourselves.
Installation worked fine and the progress bar when starting a backup looked promising. I got a 48kB file which I downloaded, but it seems as if the file is not a GZIP file. 7-ZIP as well as TUGZip say it's not a proper GZIP file when I try to decompress.
Due to incompatibility with win2k we use an older PHP version on our server namely 5.2.17.
Okay, I think I have to take my posting back. Although I tried to extract the file with two different tools on my pc, it seems to be a client issue and not a problem of the file. On the webserver, I could successfully open it.
Today the problem reoccurred and I don't have a clue about what has been changed. The only thing I did was commenting out (and in) "extension=php_zip.dll" in PHP because this was the only thing I had changed before it suddenly worked.
So now using your plug-in, I get a file which is of a file size (53KB) that I would expect for my backup. But: no decompressor accepts the file.
Is there a possibility for backing up without compression?

PS: Sorry for my probably unclear English. I hope I could make myself clear.
I have the same issue here: Plugin´s working like a charm but when I try to open the nameofbackupfile.sql.gz then an error occurs in 7-zip telling me: gz is not supported archive.
Now this is not true cause all other zipped files extract like they should. I am working on WP 3.1.2 with plugin 2.2.3 Version, chance is 7:1 that it works (like stated here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/
Server is a unix system with apache 2.0 API and php 5.3.3.

Sorry for wasting your space. :-)

Okay, let's go on with my strange mono-dialogue:

Any ideas?
