 * Isnt this a huge safety risc?
    Shouldnt the backup file be removed after it has
   been used onece, if you forgot to remove the backup file, any one can download
   it and steal your whole site?

 * I suppose it could be an issue if someone could guess the file name,which is 
   a bit long,but yeah this is one of the reasons that we don’t recommend using 
   this as a backup plugin.
    anyhow,when the plugin is disabled/removed,it places
   an htaccess file inside the backup directory to prevent external access,but while
   it’s active,it’s up to the user to decide whether to keep a backup or to delete
   it.

 * But there is no scanner that can crawl wp sites after backup files created from
   Clone plugin? Wouldnt that be an easy solution that the backup is encrypted and
   secured with a password that you need to enter before you can use the file? Am
   I to paranoid?

 * haha nope,I don’t think that you are being paranoid 😉
    but,yeah,I suppose we
   should mention something about this in the admin page itself.
