⚠️ Considerations & Limitations
🔹 Backup Size & Performance: Very large websites may take longer and use more server resources during backup. Make sure your host supports sufficient PHP execution time and memory limits.
WordPress.org
🔹 Full Site Backups: Although this plugin supports file backups, its primary focus is the database; for full site backups (including all files and content), dedicated full‑site backup plugins like UpdraftPlus might be more convenient if you need deeper file management.

🔹 External Storage Setup: To use cloud destinations (Dropbox, Amazon S3, etc.), you’ll need to configure API keys/accounts with the respective services.
