 * Plugin is useless because it causes timeouts, i.e. when it reaches the maximum
   execution time (which on my server is 30 seconds) it produces fault backups.
 * Other backups deal with the timeout problem very well (by reloading the .php 
   script every few seconds).
 * This backup plugin only works if you have a small database.

 * I increased timeouts, that does not resolve the issue. Hopefully the dev sees
   your post and does the .php reload workaround.
