 * Hi,
 * Because my hosting provider does not support zip compression, the WordPress Backup
   to DropBox will not run… Are there any plans on gzip compression as alternative?
 * Better compression rates and availability on more servers sound like good arguments
   for it 🙂
 * Thanks!

 * Gday RavanH,
 * I am in the process adding a feature to do a differential backup to save both
   memory and bandwidth.
 * So please be patient and let me know if you have any issues when version 0.8 
   arrives.
 * Cheers,
    Mikey

 * That’s GREAT, Michael!
 * I’ll be leaving the plugin installed then (to keep me informed on updates) and
   if any future version will include gzip, I’ll even be able to test it 😉
 * In any case, your work is much appreciated!
