 * I love how simple and powerful WP Time Machine is. It does everything I need 
   sans the feature-glut and without fail so far!
 * I’m wondering if it could be made better by allowing date-stamped tar-ball or
   zip archives WITHIN buckets.
 * As it is now, it seems to _only_ create new buckets. But, if I automate via cron(
   which is kinda the whole point of backing up), then I’ll quickly fill up the 
   bucket list.
 * That area is not meant for a ton of items really and if this happens from backups
   of multiple sites, then that list will get long and unwieldy quickly.
 * If I am able to set up buckets that represent separate sites like so:
 * – site-1-bkups
    – site-2-bkups
 * Then I can have tidy date-stamped archives INSIDE each bucket like so:
 * – site-1-bkups
    — site-1-20101103.zip — site-1-20101110.zip — etc. – site-2-bkups—
   site-2-20101103.zip — site-2-20101110.zip — etc.
