Can’t backup. Message Backup directory specified exists, but is not writable

    I manage this website on behalf of a client.

    I have UpdraftPlus setup to use Google Drive. Al backups were working fine. I have noticed now that weekly backups have not been working since October.

    I am getting the message “Backup directory specified exists, but is not writable.Follow this link to attempt to create the directory and set the permissions, or, to reset this option press here”. The settings on the “updraft” directory are 0775 so should be OK I think.

    I also noticed the message “Exception (Google_IO_Exception) occurred during backup uploads to the googledrive. Exception Message: The stream IO handler requires the allow_url_fopen runtime configuration to be enabled (Code: 0, line 51 in /home/openhous/public_html/wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/includes/Google/IO/Stream.php)” in the log file. The option allow_url_fopen was not enabled. I have now enabled it.

    I am still not able to get the backup to run.

    Could it be there is not enough space for the backup? Any help is much appreciated?

    Thanks Lesley
