Comment on Introducing iControlWP Unlimited Backup by Ruud.
This change just made it more interesting for me to join iControlWP. The previous rotation schedule was indeed way too much. However, I have some doubts about the current schedule as well. Why did you choose for 3 daily, 1 weekly and 6 monthly? I don’t see the point in that. Something like 4 daily, 4 weekly and 2 monthly would have seen more appropriate in my opinion. Backups are for if something goes wrong. Than, aren’t recent backups not more important than one that is six months old? I definitely understand the logic for less backups in total (I was one of the people suggesting that), but could you explain why you guys choose for this new schedule?
@TwoCentsBob:
1. I think the additional backup costs for the Shield package are monthly costs, but let Paul correct me if I’m wrong. So as soon as you need more than 20 GB, you’re probably better of switching to the Growth package.
2. Yes, guess you are right. Seems a logical exchange in return for removing the backups from the package.
3. As I understand it, No Maximum Site Limits means there is no limit on additional sites that you can add to your package, on top of the number of sites that is included by default.

Upcoming Shield Central – What Is It?
Great news. This is something we’ve been looking forward to.
For the future, it would be great if you guys would somehow be able to do the same thing for the more popular WordPress plugins out there. But I understand that will be a little bit more complicated than doing it for your own plugin.
