 * So far I think your plugin is great. However I have not yet need to do a recovery
   so not sure how that will all play out. I hope it would go well if I ever needed
   to do so.
 * I do notice an elevated I/O usage… Is that normal? CPU also peaks, but not as
   much as I/O. I’m trying to find the cause of my spiking I/O every so often. I
   thought it may be my backups… Does this plugin use resources when not running
   a backup? Also Would you recommend deactivating it and reactivating it only when
   doing a backup?
 * Finally, do you have a document that shows the most important files to backup
   and which ones may be ok to exclude. Like the most important would be SQL and
   my wp-contents folder right? What else is probably important/ not so important.
 * Also can you send me a link talking about the premium version. If there is one.
   I would like to see if I would need it could benefit from it. Thanks!

 * Sorry for the late reply.
 * You’ll find most answers to your questions here:

 * You are correct that the most important is the database and the wp-contents folder.
   Mostly the uploads folder.
