Description of my issue:
On my own, and a couple of client sites, I found out (When you went to Joomla Day of course LOL) that the Database backups being generated by the cron are all empty! I am using Dropbox to move all the files to once complete and deleting local files. They show as 0kb and when opened are empty.
If I run the backup from the back end, they backup correctly, but when triggered by the cron they are empty. This is only happening to the Database files and not the JPA archives.
Any ideas? Running 3.5.1 on my site (Going to upgrade today hopefully) and 3.6.3 on my clients website. Glad I found out about this before I needed a backup for something!
