Multi-Site + WPCron -> Multiple Backups

Thanks a lot for your great plugin!
As others reported already, there is an issue with multi site installations together with WPCron. I managed to work around it with an external Cronjob Service, but i would love to see this bug fixed and everything again under the control of our system.

I made some tests and want to share my findings with you – maybee it helps fixing the problem:

– I have an multisite installation with 19 Sites (1 MasterSite 18 Subsites)
– lots of sites started as a Clone of another Site
– My Job is a Database Backup, ALL Tables, daily at 2:20, Tar GZip, Upload to Dropbox
– When i start manually or via external link: everything is fine: 1 Backup, all Tables, Duration approx. 30 Seconds

Last night i switched back to WPCron, this is what i got:
– in the logs and in the Dropbox i find 8 Backup Files, written between 02:22 and 05:34
– inside these backups i find only the Tables belonging to ONE Site, so the data to 11 other sites and the master-installation Tables are not included!
– i can’t find a rule why it is these 8 sites out of the 19. There are new ones and old ones included, high and low Site-IDs, Sites with Subfolder-Adress and Sites with mapped Domains, high traffic and nearly no traffic sites.
– i installed the PlugIn WP Crontrol to have a look inside the Cron Tables: i only find in one old site (but not THE oldest) backwpup_cron: {“id:” 3} (this is my BackWPUp Job-ID)

Any suggestions how to get WpCron running correct again?

Do you need any more logfiles or even special tests i should run for you? I would be happy to share more details in PM.

Thanks,
Claus
