 * Hi team – i just moved my sites over to Kinsta and there seems to be a one month
   limitation within the plugin. I originally thought this was just for the schedule
   but seems like even a manual backup is only allowed once a month. I reached out
   to Kinsta and they said this is a plugin limitation despite the banner saying
   it is a server restriction. Anyway we can get this updated to allow more backups
   or at the very least allow manual backups anytime?

 * Hi,
 * I am afraid you can’t. Kinsta would only allow us to be used on their hosting
   if we limited the number of backups. We don’t like this but it’s Kinsta that 
   insist on it. We are not allowed to give you any workaround otherwise we will
   be banned completely again.

 * Ok understood. Would premium work regularly?

 * No, I am afraid not. The restrictions apply to the premium plugin as well.
