As it is recommended to backup in batches of 100 to work around the gmail threading issue (https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus#the-app-saves-only-100-smsmms-per-contact), it would be handy to have the app automatically backup in batches of 100.

As it stands, in order to do the initial backup of existing messages, you have to set the batch limit to 100 and then either manually run backup after backup until all messages are done, or wait a long time for the automatic scheduled backups to run enough times. Could the app run an automatic loop of backups in batches of 100 until all messages are backed up?
