13. Here you can configure various settings for your backup plugin. We recommend leaving the the folders at the default settings unless you would like to change their locations. For Day and Time we recommend choosing one specific day of the week and setting the time to an hour late at night or early morning, similar to what's shown in the screenshot below. Frequency should be set to weekly unless you would like to make a backup more often.
14. Congratulations, you've successfully setup the WordPress Backup to Dropbox plugin. Using the default settings, your SQL dump (you MySQL database for this WordPress install) will be found at the path 'WordPressBackups/wp-content/backups' within your Dropbox.
