I’ve been using this for a number of months and my weekly backup has been working perfectly, to Google Drive. Today I’m trying to do a manual backup and it appears to be stalled on the Plugins backup.
I’ve taken a look at my previous log files and it looks like this happens every time. After about 800 seconds from starting the backup, it lists the filesize of the plugins backup so far as about 50MB (log says “on-disk size: 42550.3 KB”). It retries every 400-500 seconds, listing the number of files in the archive (this number doesn’t change) until about 3900 seconds, and then it continues adding files to the archive. Here’s the relevant lines:

It does complete successfully after 66 minutes total but there appears to be a 50-minute block where it doesn’t actually do anything. I’m currently remoted on using ftp and I can see the timestamp of the tmp file changing, but the size (50726kb) has remained at that exact value for the last 30 minutes.
I’ve checked my old logs. The backup from 9 Oct 2016 took about 900 seconds (900 was standard for my site) and the 27 Nov 2016 took 3600 seconds, so I guess that was when the issue started. I usually keep up to date with the latest version of Updraft, so maybe an issue was introduced at that time?
