Ran into this as well. Patched it myself so that it includes an upload button.

liveblog/templates/liveblog-form.php (add the line with the + before):

<div class="liveblog-submit-wrapper">
     <span class="liveblog-submit-spinner"></span>
     <input type="button" class="liveblog-form-entry-submit button" value="{{submit_label}}" />
     <a href="#" class="cancel">Cancel</a>
+    <input type="file" id="liveblog_upload_image_button" class="button" value="Upload image..." />
</div>

liveblog/js/plupload.js:

/* Selectors */
- browser: '#liveblog-messages',
+ browser: '#liveblog_upload_image_button',
  dropzone: '#liveblog-container',

At least it’s a quick fix that worked for me, as it seems the plugin isn’t maintained anymore.

File backup to Azure doesn’t seem to work when the backup takes a long time.

When I do a small backup (only the DB) the transfer to MS Azure is fine.

I haven’t had this problem with the 2.x version of BackWPup. Hope you can fix this.

I noticed the HTTP_Request2 PEAR package is included with the plugin, but not properly added to the include_path.

I added this line below the current set_include_path statement in plugins/backwpup/inc/class-destination-msazure.php and it fixed the issue:
set_include_path( get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . __DIR__ . '/../sdk/PEAR/');

Hope you can fix this in the next release.
