 * Just noticed, that after each update of the plugin, it runs also automatically
   a backup.
    Is this a feature? 😉

 * I don’t believe this 😉
    Still better to do extra backup, than one missed 🙂

 * I think it might have something to do with wp-cron and the fact that when the
   site is visited, it triggers the wp-cron, which in turn tells the plugin to run
   it’s schedule. So something is being reset when there’s an update, possibly. 
   In any case, other than having an additional backup, does this cause any actual
   problems for you? 😀

 * Actually, it does not cause any problem, but you know, I don’t want to look like
   a pirate who use extra Feature if I did not pay for it 🙂
