I just started with Updraftplus plugin for Wordpress on my small blog site.
I have successfully installed and configured the plugin and passed all authentication via Google's Developer API.
There are two problems:
1. the backups take a very long time to complete - almost a full day. When I backup using another plugin to Dropbox for the same blog site the backup takes around 400 seconds and a 380 MB archive is generated and sent to Dropbox.
2. The Updraftplus backup creates an archive of around 4GB for this blog site. This is way too large for a site this small. Also, it sends a message that my web site is not visited enough and that is the reason for the delay. That is just crazy.
Do you know what is going on with the plugin that is making it perform this way. Is there a fix available? I am using version 1.9.60
