 * Hi, just looking for some guidance in regards to the plugin.
 * Does this work for multisite?
 * I have installed the plugin and network enabled the plugin. When I go to the 
   one of the sites within the multisite the database backup is created, with a 
   size of around 9MB.
 * However if I export the database using PHPMYADMIN the size of the database is
   around 35MB.
 * I then ran the plugin a another site within the multisite network and the database
   file is exactly the same 9MB.
 * My questions are;
 * Will the database backup stop if the execution time isn’t long enough? Even though
   a file is created, will the plugin stop creating the backup is not enough time
   is given?
 * I have raised the execution time from what it was to double, to see if the database
   size increased (following my question above) and still on 9MB Database size?
 * Thanks for your help and support in advance.
