Hi Mosiur007, That message means that the MySQL database server is off-line. To resolve that, you'll need to talk to whoever admins the server (usually that means your web hosting company). Best...

There's nothing online, either. I'm trying it again because I had a thought - I started the backup BEFORE authenticating Dropbox. I thought it might still work since I did it VERY shortly after...

Well, now nothing works. I tell it to do a backup, it says "Requesting start of backup..." then "Security check" then nothing happens. It does say "Backups, logs & restoring: 1 set(s) available"...

Hi, If you don't configure Dropbox or another storage location, then by default the backups are stored on the webserver itself (in wp-content/updraft). David

Hi David. UpdraftPlus is mostly fabulous and I really appreciate it! One (very critical) thing I haven't appreciated, though, is the inability to upload/decrypt encrypted databases. Both myself and my...

This was because I was trying to restore a backup from a different WP installation (from "test" subdomain installation into new, "root" installation). Once I purchased "Migrator" add-on, it...
