I don't think I'd pay to have it backed up-although I would certainly try it out to see how it works. I try to backup my database twice a week, however I do tend to forget.

To answer a couple of your concerns: 1) The 10MB is the total size of all the compressed backups. BackupMyBlog uses a very space saving YAML-like backup format internally so 10MB will hold a lot of information. 2) The backup script was designed to put a light load on the remote server. It only downloads 250KB chunks at a time so it doesn't hog the database on a shared server. Thanks again for the reviewed. Thanks for the review and the ideas for new features/improvements.
