 * Hi,
 * I’m using 1.4.30 of the UpdraftPlus plugin, and when I’ve activated it, I’m getting
   this message:
 * Your PHP max_execution_time is less than 60 seconds. This possibly means you’re
   running in safe_mode. Either disable safe_mode or modify your php.ini to set 
   max_execution_time to a higher number. If you do not, then longer will be needed
   to complete a backup. Present limit is: 30 seconds.
 * I don’t have the permissions of my hosting provider to change this. Will it still
   backup my website? Or will it stop after 30 seconds and fail?
    (Sorry for this
   simple question, but I’m not a pro with PHP.)
 * For me it’s only important that he backups my website. It isn’t very important
   if it takes a little bit longer.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi Boris,
 * As the message says, “If you do not, then longer will be needed to complete a
   backup”. That is the only side-effect.

 * Hi David,
 * Thanks for your amazingly fast reply!
 * And thanks for the confirmation that I can safely backup! That it will take any
   longer isn’t much an issue.
    Thanks!
