 * Greetings –
    I have a domain with several add on domains, and it would be handy
   to be able to direct Simple Backup to skip making backups of those domains (they’re
   backed up separately), and to have it skip making backups of the backup directory
   in the ‘mother’ domain. Is that possible in the free or the paid version of the
   plugin? Thanks –

 * Hi Chris –
    I’m using single site installations of WordPress – I guess things
   just ‘grew’ that way when a niece wanted a website, my brother wanted to put 
   something on the web, … The sites are on a shared server at Hostgator. Let me
   know if there’s some bit of info I can add – and thanks for the follow up!
