Issues with Backup & Exporting Data

hi,

I hope that 0.8.3 is not the version of NewStatPress you are using. You need at least version 1.0.4 because alle the previous has several XSS and SQL injection issue that cames from original Statpress. Else it not uses AJAX call to speed up page generation.

However, if you had the last version, there is an Information panel that gives you the DB size.

256MB (the one I see in the link) is not so big.
Mine is over 1,6GB and I had no problem for the backup (it is done from servver side).

If you want to have less data, you can activate the prune option for spider (so you delete all spiders before the time you choose).
This almost reduice your DB (after that you can use the Optimize function into Tools for optimize the table). If worst case you can choose to prune all data from the date you choose (but you lost counted information).

If you want to save your data, you need to export the wp_statpress table (maybe with phpmyadmin).

Thanks
