 * Thanks Daniel! Is there a workaround in the meantime? This is causing my backups
   to fail 🙁

 * I just installed this plugin and tried three different backup destinations and
   getting the above error. Is this plugin broken? How do I use this? Have tried
   multiple times with different options.

 * In moment you can Exclude the XML Export. With next release it should be fixed.

 * Also getting errors when using destination as FTP only. Have tried this more 
   than 7-8 times, with different options (Passive FTP, active FTP, FTP over SSL,
   normal FTP, etc, etc – all possible combinations).
 * It gets stuck at 67% and the time keeps running (even for a simple 86KB file),
   which should not even take 1 second to transfer.
 * What to do?
