 * Hello,
    I am trying your plugin (v2.1.7) on a multisite and works like a charm.
   I have noticed the following though as far as the execution order goes. When 
   I give it as a job to:
 * > WP XML Export
   >  Database Backup File Backup Optimize Database Tables Check Database
   > Tables
 * shouldn’t this be done in a different order? Like:
 * > _**Optimize Database Tables**_
   >  Check Database Tables Database Backup WP XML
   > Export File Backup
 * I mean it makes more sense to me to first optimize the db tables so as have them
   nice and clean ready for your backup
 * What are your thoughts?
    Seasons greetings. 🙂

 * I didn’t know that. So it makes sense. Thanks again and have a happy new year.
