 * Backwpup executes the same backup 3 times each time it runs for some reason, 
   I would like this solved. No idea why it is happening.

 * I have the exact same problem, but only with the database backup job.
 * I have only 2 jobs: 1 for the files and 1 for the database.
 * For me, the database job actually runs 6(!) times, some with an error, some not.
 * Also, the upload to SugarSync fails quite frequently, with the error “[ERROR]
   SugarSync API: cUrl Error: couldn’t connect to host”.
    Could you maybe add an
   option to retry the upload, like once or twice?
 * Besides these problems, I really am happy with your plugin, it’s definitely the
   best available! Thanks for sharing it with us.

 * Do either of you use W3 Total Cache?
 * I believe that Daniel is [investigating a potential issue working with W3 Total Cache](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/multible-backup-with-backwpup-and-w3-total-cache).
 * (I have the same problem as you describe too Bobtb)

 * I’m not sure if you’re saying there’s a fix for this issue now, but if you are,
   is it related to W3 Total Cache?
    Because I’m not using that, will it still work
   for me?
