 * I just installed backWPup and am very happy with it.
 * I’d like the option when backing up only the XML export to save it by itself (
   not in a tar or zip file).
 * Thanks for the great product.

 * Thanks for the reply. I just bought the pro version now, but there is no option
   to save it outside of a compressed archive.
 * To be clear, on the xml tab, you can choose without compression, but it still
   goes into the compressed archive specified in the first tab.

 * Ples select the Sync option in the first tab more in other support form.
