 * in the FAQ i find this:
    “The backup is executed using WordPress’ scheduling 
   system that, unlike a cron job, kicks of tasks the next time your blog is accessed
   after the scheduled time.”
 * does this mean i have to log in every time i want it to run a backup?
    or does
   it count visitors to domain.com where my wp installation is?

 * Any visit to your blog will kick off the cron. It is done behind the scenes asynchronously
   without affecting the visitor.
