Backup single file

This command backs up only one thing, and that is the file named db_backup.sql (assuming you dont have a directory named db_backup.sql of ourse). It really should not back anything else up. If you think it does, please add -vv right before the backup command and show us all the output from that command when you run it. I could also ask, what makes you think that it is backing up anything else than that single file?
