 * I have been using BackWPup on all WordPress installations and love that plugin;
   never had a problem with it!!!
 * This afternoon, I was in the process of installing BackWPup on a friend’s WP 
   site when I got the message: PHP 5.2.0 or higher needed!
 * Turns out that the server has PHP version 5.0.5 and the hosting company (EarthLink)
   is saying NO CHANCE to have PHP upgraded to 5.2.0 or higher any time soon!???
 * Short of moving to a different host; which my friend does NOT want to do as EarthLink
   is also his Internet Provider, I am thinking I could install an older version
   of BackWPup, so…
 * What older version is best to run on PHP 5.0.5?
    And, what must I look out for,
   if anything?
 * In advance thank you.
