 * Hi. 
   I have this setup and works perfectly., However, Instead of just backing
   up the data to my qnap NAS it is also creating a large multi gb backup file in
   my local WordPress directory on my cPanel server. This means, when I run my own
   webhosting backups for cpanel (via softalious) the backup file generated is massive.
   I cannot find any way to instruct this plugin to stop creating the massive backup
   file on web host also.
