 * I use this plugin on two websites where the web host has shut down the website
   due to high resource pulls.
 * This has happened in the last 2-3 weeks since your new release. Do think there
   is anything in the plugin that could be causing this?
 * Further, when I run exploit scanner to look for hacks and malware, there are 
   many files in the backwpup plugin that appear in the results with base64_decode.
   Can you verify that the plugin is clean?
 * Thank you.

 * Yes, the plugin is clean. The Plugin has some functions that needs base64_decode.
 * To reduce the server load you can try the option under settings -> jobs.

 * Thanks for getting back to me Daniel,
    I’ll change that setting and hope it resolves
   the load issue. I think your plugin is terrific and would hate to have to stop
   using it. Cheers –
