 * I installed Cyan Backup plugin.
 * When I started a backup, It is hanging at the last step. (Archiving SQL dump…).
   I saw the status log and it is showing the same. Since last 3 hours, its is showing
   the same thing. I tried this couple of times but no success.
 * Can you help me in this regard?

 * More than likely you’ve hit your max execution time on your server, check the
   value of it in your php.ini file.

 * Hi,
 * I have the same problem.
    Unfortunately for me it’s not possible to increase 
   the execution time because it’s a shared server and this is policy of the host.
   Is there another way to get around this?
 * thanks in advance.
 * regards, Stephan
