 * Hi there,
 * I;ve just moved hosts and before the move the backups were working just fine.
   I’ve gone from EWD hosting to Media temple.
 * The site, essentialmac.co.uk seems to be working just fine however when I start
   to do a back up It’s just stuck at creating SQL backup.
 * Any ideas?

 * Gday Mate,
 * Id say your DB is probably too big for the plugin to backup with your current
   server configuration.
 * This is a know problem that I am working on as we speak. Hopefully I can solve
   the issue in v1.2 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Mikey

 * Gday Mikey,
 * No problem. If you can tell me how I tell you how big my DB is i’ll let you know(
   might help with something)
 * I gladly paid for the zip compression so I can’t wait till it gets fixed 😀
 * Cheers
