 * This plugin totally shut down my site and locked me out. After removing the files
   for this plugin, installing a backup and getting my site working again, all of
   a sudden BackupBuddy settings and options no longer appear in the left hand side
   where it used to be, and if I click on the Backup Now button in the dashboard,
   I get this error message: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this
   page.

 * I would also like to add that BackupBuddy was working perfectly fine until after
   my issues with iThemes Security. What files or permissions may have been changed
   by iThemes Security that would not have been resolved by a complete site restore?
