 * I have a pretty large WordPress site – about 10G total. I’d also like to schedule
   automatic backup scheduling – I’m assuming this plugin will use CRON jobs? Will
   this plugin be able to automatically backup my site AND split the backup into
   separate files every gig or 2 gigs? I think my server has a 2GB limit on file
   size so I’d like to keep it to 1GB if possible. Also, can this plugin store the
   backups on my own server in a folder of my choosing? Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * We don’t currently support backups bigger than around 1.5GB so the plugin will
   not work for you unless you reduce the size down significantly.
 * We do have plans to introduce 64-bit ZIP file format into the plugin (so we can
   create massive ZIP files of any size), but no plans for splitting the files into
   2GB chunks.
 * Regards,
 * Jason
