 * Hello,
 * since the last weeks I always have an error on my multisite with backups. It 
   shows an error when it does the XML-Export. After deactivating XML-Export in 
   the Backup, all is working fine.

 * Hi [@prowo24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prowo24/), please go to BackWPup-
   > Settings -> Job and check the setting, `Maximum script execution time`. Set
   it to something less than 30 seconds, usually about 25 is a good setting. Then
   see if the error persists.
