My site information simply does not back up.
I chose to back up with dropbox and when I go on my dropbox there is no zip file.
How can I back up all images and text on my wordpress site so that if I lose my site I can use all that data to have the site up and running again?

Hi,
Please can you provide a link to your log file for the problematic backup? (You can download it from the "Existing Backups" tab of your UpdraftPlus settings page).
It'll be too long to paste into the forum here, but you can download it to your computer, and share it with Dropbox, or paste it in pastebin.com, or any similar service, and post the link here.
Best wishes,
David
NiallASD on "Extra white-space issue"
Hi all,
Whenever I go to restore a backup using the UpdraftPlus plugin [Version 1.11.15] I see the following message on the page.
Warning: Your WordPress installation has a problem with outputting extra whitespace. This can corrupt backups that you download from here. Please consult this FAQ for help on what to do about it.
After reading through the provided link I found that the problem is with the custom theme I'm using (no issue when I switch to a provided theme such as TwentyTwelve) - deactivating Plugins does nothing to help.
I get that the issue is with extra whitespace, but I've no idea what to do next (what to even look for among my files to suss out the problem) other than ask you fine people for help.
Here's my work-in-progress site
Niall
[ No bumping please. ]
Jan Dembowski on "Extra white-space issue"
You're not aware of it but please don't put [Plugin: Updraft Plus Backup / Restore] (now deleted) in topic titles. It doesn't do anything and that's not how the plugin support works here.
When you post in that plugin's sub-forum then that will happen automatically.
Can you repost your question in with this link?
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus#postform
When you posted in the general forum that way the plugin author doesn't see it. By using the link I just provided then they will see it when they review their sub-forum.
NiallASD on "Extra white-space issue"
Sorry about that, I should have researched the forum guidelines better,sorry for bumping my post too.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Jan Dembowski on "Extra white-space issue"
No problem. ;)

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response. I tried multiple times with pastebin and I wasn't able to upload. So I have used another option. The download link is valid once only :(
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/586514/m8swXsPNH48DZhHk/log.56612f4c4864.txt
Please let me know if you face issue in downloading this file. I will share it from gdrive.
Thanks,

Hi Muthu,
The log shows that the backups are not completing. It appears that the backup is proceeding extremely slowly, and is eventually killed off. For example, it takes 2 seconds to write the second line of the log file. Normally, this should take a fraction of a second.
Could you contact your hosts and ask them what the I/O (read/write speed) limit is on your server?
It would also be useful to ask them to investigate the load on the server at the time of the backups.
muthualagappanchess on "updraftplus not backing up"
Hi,
Thank you for the quick response. I contacted my hosting and found that the I/O limit is set to 1MBPS and they also told that during the time of backups it hits the limit of 1MBPS.
Please let me know how to proceed on this.
Regards,
Muthu.
bvhprods on "[Plugin: UpdraftPlus WordPress Backup Plugin] Error message when trying to delete UpdraftPlus (free)..."
I just purchased UpdraftPlus Migrator and trying to delete free version.
Per instructions on this page https://updraftplus.com/support/installing-updraftplus-premium-your-add-on/ I deativated UpdraftPlus (free), but when I tried to delete it several times and I got this error message:
"Plugin could not be deleted due to an error: Could not fully remove the plugin(s) updraftplus/updraftplus.php."
Please advise.
bvhprods on "[Plugin: UpdraftPlus WordPress Backup Plugin] Error message when trying to delete UpdraftPlus (free)..."
Well the delete option didn't work but when I selected the UpdraftPlus check box, then went to Bulk Actions > Delete > Apply the UpdraftPlus plugin deleted?! Is there a bug in the application?!
bvhprods on "[Plugin: UpdraftPlus WordPress Backup Plugin] Error message when trying to delete UpdraftPlus (free)..."
Ok, I am trying to delete UpdraftPlus from the another destination site and get the error message "Plugin could not be deleted due to an error: Could not fully remove the plugin(s) updraftplus/updraftplus.php."
The delete and Bulk Actions > Delete > Apply options don't work.
Please advise.
bvhprods on "[Plugin: UpdraftPlus WordPress Backup Plugin] Error message when trying to delete UpdraftPlus (free)..."
The problem was a permissions related issue on the server.
xroox on "[Plugin: UpdraftPlus WordPress Backup Plugin] UDP not recognizing free server space?"
Hi,
Though I have freed up over 2.5gb of space, UDP is still saying I only have 32mb of space left.
See screen captures and note discrepancy in last backup date also!
1. http://grab.by/Rzok
2. http://grab.by/RzoI
I don't know what my best option here is to fix.
Thanks much.
DNutbourne on "updraftplus not backing up"
Hi Muthu,
This I/O limit is the issue. If you cannot raise this, then backups are going to run slowly.
You may wish to take a backup of any sections that do not update often (such as plugins or themes), store them in a safe place, then exclude them from the scheduled backups. This will give more time for the other sections of the backup to complete.
David Anderson on "[Plugin: UpdraftPlus WordPress Backup Plugin] UDP not recognizing free server space?"
Hi,
Please can you explain further? It's not obvious to me why there's necessarily a discrepancy between one message telling you that during your last backup run, at the end of June, you had a certain amount of free space, and another telling you what your current space usage, ~ 3 weeks later, is.

jashwanth on "Updraftplus plugin restoration is failing"
Hi Team,
We're facing issue while doing restoration of sites using updraftplus plugin and restoration log stops updating and below message is coming always.
UpdraftPlus: Unfinished restoration
You have an unfinished restoration operation, begun 5 minutes, 33 seconds ago.
If we say continue restoration, then it's generating new log file, and new log file also stops updating and this repeats.
At last, don't know how it's deleting previously downloaded zip files itself in server level. Finally it says missing XYX_themes.zip file and restoration failed.
I don't know what is wrong with plugin here, why is it failing every time?
jashwanth on "Updraftplus plugin restoration is failing"
Hi Team,
Tried again to restore from scratch. Below is the last updated log and it stops updating.
