Hi, Unfortunately, this can't be known from inside UD. When you authenticate with Dropbox, Dropbox just sends back a security token. The meaning of that token is known only to Dropbox, not to the...

I'm not 100 % sure, I looked at google drive and has nothing there, I'm not registered on dropbox as I tried to login. I bet it was only backing up to the webserver that my host has now taken offline....

I installed Updraft Plus and I have it backing up to my Dropbox. When I look at my Dropbox "Apps" folder I see 5 folders for each backup date. And the file names have "themes", "plugins", "uploads"....

Oh dear! You are having a bad day. If you don't remember setting up any remote storage, then I'd imagine you didn't - but you'd know that better than me! If you didn't set up any, then yes, you'll have...

I installed the plugin, did the settings, checked the FTP, and all was GO. Ran a backup, and got the progress bar. The log file appears to look right. I get an email saying that "apparently" the backup...

Perhaps your FTP program has cached its directory listings and you need to refresh somehow? Anyway - please post the full log file so that I can take a look. Use pastebin.com as it'll be too long for...

Hi Toherangi, Glad you've got it working. It can't be down to the cloud storage selection, though, as internally that setting doesn't come into play until after the zip has been created. (And the zip...

David, you are exactly right. I just went into the server via Filezilla, and the backup are there. Just needed to be refreshed. Lesson learned! Regards, George

Hi ksmac13gill, You could set up a second WordPress website and restore the backup there; or inspect the backup manually (by unzipping), or read the log file to see if it looks like it makes sense. David
