-Multisite support is a BETA UNSUPPORTED BONUS FEATURE provided in BackupBuddy to AID you in importing and exporting subsites with Multisite.  Due to the nature of Multisite we cannot provide the same level of thoroughness in migrations as with standalone sites.  You should NOT expect as smooth of an experience and we only recommend advanced users attempt to use Multisite functionality due to this.  As WordPress Multisite functionality is much more technically complex some BackupBuddy features available for standalone sites are NOT supports for Multisite environments.  Please carefully review the features, differences, and limitations so that you are aware of them and are sure it will meet your needs.

 '''BackupBuddy Multisite is a BETA product'''.  As such you ''may encounter issues'' using it and we cannot necessarily insure flawless functionality or that issues encountered will be resolved in as timely manner as non-beta features.  Usage of it in a production environment is at your own risk; Import/Export functionality is quite solid but Network migrations have some issues which require additional intervention to fully complete if the URL changes (see limitations below for full details). There is currently not a specific ETA on when the beta tag will be removed. It will be removed once we believe Multisite functionality to be as solid and reliable as the BackupBuddy standalone many have come to love.

 * '''Backup entire Multisite Network'''
-** Limitation: As a Network can contain many subsites, each subsite increases the amount of time needed to perform a backup, especially if the sites are large.  This can demand more server resources or more PHP runtime.  Most shared hosting does not permit increasing these resources so BackupBuddy may not be able to finish backups under these conditions.  If you have access to modify these settings, Maximum PHP runtime is a key setting to increase as needed.
+** Limitations:
 * '''Restore entire Multisite Network (same server & URLs)'''
