    Hi guys I have 2 questions in 1

    1) I’ve searched but couldn’t find. Where the database backup option in Revo?
    2) From a usability standpoint, I’m seriously leaning towards upgrading my site to Revo, can anyone give 3 main reasons why I shouldn’t considering that this site was once powered by 0.9.6.3. the Beta 5 of Revo seems to have everything I need to run the site.

          1)I use phpMyadmin to back up the tables
          2) There are NOT enough bugs to keep this from a production environment -- in my honest opinion. Just be advised there are not as many snippets for Revo and Evo, but I have simply created jQuery or other alternatives to fill in the gaps with the sites I have created up to now (around 10 in revo).

            Thanks for the headz up. I’m still backing up the database the old way as you suggested. Maybe the dev people will include that time-saving feature. Other than the shortage in snippets and a few bugs in the manager, Revo is simply fantastic. I’ve been test-driving for a week now and it’s simply amazing.
