 * Hi all,
 * The website I am trying to backup is installed in a subdirectory. Does BackupWordPress
   try to backup just where WordPress is or does it start at the root of the domain?
 * I’m just wondering because it is saying the site is 2GB which I think means it
   may be including all folders under the domain, not just the WP folder. And “creating
   zip archive” has been going for a while now.
 * Is there any way to ensure it is only doing the WP directory?
 * Thanks,
 * Terry
