 * Hi,
    So far, I’m quite happy with the plugin. Main problem: I don’t manage to
   get the backup per email. I’ve define a valid email address in wp-config.php;
   I’ve try with hotmail.com and with gmail.com; both not working. The plugin estimate
   the size of the website at 35Mb and make a backup of it of 17Mb. Gmail has a 
   max. limit of attachment of 25Mb. So normally it should work. But no. Should 
   I define something more in wp-config.php? or some place else? The problem occur
   on local server (wamp); I didn’t try the plugin yet on live server. Could that
   be the problem?
 * Thanks for your answers.

 * Hi Oliver,
 * It could be a local problem, does email normally work from your local sites?
 * It could also be that your local mail server has a max attachment size limit (
   I think the default is 10mb).
 * I would suggest trying on your live server.
