 * About 50% of the time the backup will stall during the zip process.
    This is 
   with the cron job. If I clear the job and do a run now, everything is fine.
 * When it stalls like this there is no log produced so you may not know anything
   is wrong unless you notice the missing the email for that day. It can stay hung
   for days, not producing backups until you manually clear it.
