 * I set the IP address to my external IP and created an API key.
 * When I try [http://xxxx.sterndata.com/wp-complete-backup/api-secretkey/both](http://xxxx.sterndata.com/wp-complete-backup/api-secretkey/both),
   all I get back is “1”, and nothing happens. What’s the trick to getting the remote
   backup trigger working?
