 * I have 2 websites where the backup fails always because the sites do have a lot
   of photos – so obviously making the targz file fails because of the script running
   into a timeout.
    Any ideas how to solve that problem?

 * Did you have configured the max Execution time on BackWPup > Settings > Tab: 
   Job. Try with a value of 30 secounds
