Description

I'm running into an issue where the hosting has file size limitations, so a complete backup cannot be made in one go.

It would be really great if the compressed backup could be chunked into multiple files.
The file size of each chunk could be defined in the settings.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by tracing where compressed backups are created and where plugin settings are defined. Determine how a configurable chunk size should apply, then verify that a backup is split into multiple files that respect the configured limit.
