Hi Carrie,

The backup feature in v1.36 is manually activated. Meaning you click a button in the admin and it creates a backup of your mysql database or restores a previous backup.

You can also get a plugin from the App Store called "Auto Backup" ($19.95 and you can use it on all your CMSB installs) that automatically creates backup "Snapshots" at intervals of the last 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months (9 snapshots total) so can go back to a previous version if something goes wrong. http://www.interactivetools.com/appstore/detail.php?Auto-Backup-1003

The wysiwyg spellcheck is built right in and adds a new spellcheck button to the wysiwyg. It uses Google's spellcheck server and requires the following:
- The server to be able to connect to www.google.com
- One of these PHP extensions: curl or openssl
- An unmodified /lib/wysiwyg.php file.

Almost 99% of the time it just works. If your server doesn't have one of those common modules or has a restrictive firewall then you'll get a message when you click the spellcheck button. The spellcheck also requires you to actually click the button to activate it. And if you've previously created a custom wysiwyg file (/lib/wysiwyg_custom.php) you'll just need to copy the code for the spellcheck button over from /lib/wysiwyg.php.

So those are some very rare reasons why it might not work, but as I said it typically just works. If you run into any problems let us know, or if you'd like us to upgrade your CMSB for you we can do that as well.

Hope that helps!
