Easiest way to backup database :

Ok, I see on the odoo.com accounts page there is a tiny arrow in the upper right corner of the relevant database.  It's a drop down menu on which can be found, 'Download Backup'.

i backup 

Going to "My odoo.com Account" then click "Manage My Organizations", then "Backup"

I had some initial problems backing up, but now it seems to work. Its kind of tricky. You have to be logged into the database, then go to account, then manage organizations, then it will let you backup to a zip file.

Hi !

I've been using this "Download Backup" online till last week. This week, it doesn't appear anymore in the drop down menu.
Something changed ?

Thanks.
