 * BackupGuard Error: PHP EXECUTION TIMEOUT ERROR
    Your hosting has an execution
   time limit of 120 seconds for PHP scripts, which is not enough for performing
   a full backup/restore of your website. A full website backup/restore is a complex
   process which may take a couple of minutes depending on many circumstances. The
   needed execution time varies depending on the backup options and your server 
   performance, that’s why we cannot tell exactly how much execution time is needed.
   But, almost all hosting providers give users the ability to increase the execution
   time limit or they increase it themselves, upon user request. Please ask your
   hosting provider if they are able to increase your execution time limit. If this
   isn’t an option for you, then try to activate the “Reloads enabled” option in
   the settings (to compress your data chunk by chunk). Then disable any security
   plugin which could prevent nopriv ajax calls and try again to create a new backup.
   If you still see this error, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help 
   you figure it out ASAP.
