 * I’m having a very odd problem happening. I’m having this plugin perform a backup
   once a day. The backup is happening and the resulting backup is fine, however
   it’s generating a lot of files. This is not only causing a problem by wiping 
   out older backups when needed, it’s also flooding my email with 50 or so emails.
   This just started recently. The only change I can think of that happened was 
   the recent upgrade to 4.1 or 4.1.1. No other plugins or settings were changed.
   I uninstalled the plugin, reinstalled, and updated settings with no fix. I am
   using a decent amount of plugins since I’m running a private site but the problem
   only recently appeared and worked perfectly fine prior.
 * EDIT: I should add I’m also using MariaDB with Nginx just in case that might 
   make a difference.

 * Sorry man, I have no idea on this. I will leave it open to see if others have
   any thing to add on. Only thing I can thing of is the cron went crazy and called
   it self multiple times.
 * I am assuming the normal backup works but not the automatic cron backup.
