This plugin is simple and effective.

Looks to be a capable backup solution…but the sticky point for most BU plugs out there, is Multisite use. – Is this multisite-compatible? – If so, will it allow subsite backups or the entire network? – will it restore as well as backup? Thanks

I cannot say too often how impressed I am by the customer support I get from these people. It is friendly, timely, knowledgeable and they go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. I can honestly say that in the 12 years I have been building websites, that I have never experienced this level of customer service. Thank you Nick and Dylan and all.
