First of all, thank you for this amazing plugin. I have been using the free version of the Updraft plus plugin on my website, hemamagesh.com for over 4 years now.
I have just noticed that the backups have not been happening for quite some time now, though they have been scheduled twice a day. The last log message says, “The backup apparently succeeded and is now complete”. But it does not show up on the existing backups on the Updraftplus dashboard. Neither is it found on the google drive for which I have given authentication. All settings are perfect. I tried backing up manually and it works. Not sure why the scheduled backups are not happening. Pl guide me on what to do.
Thanks & regards,
Hema

Nothing seems to work. Any advice?
]]>We are using UpdraftPlus (free) on a Woocommerce webshop that is still in development.
Recently we have noticed that scheduled backups are refusing to run. We are getting the following error msg: Failed to open log file (/var/www/html/wp-content/updraft/log.7aa561972bcf.txt) – you need to check your UpdraftPlus settings (your chosen directory for creating files in is not writable, or you ran out of disk space). Backup aborted. (aug 06 01:00:05)
We have no problems with manual backups, these run normally and are successfull.
Some other background info:
– Backup destination: Google drive
– Backup schedule scheme: Every 12h
– Archive size setting: 100MB
– There is plenty of space available both on the server as the Google Drive storage
– Access rights for folder /var/www/html/wp-content/updraft/: apache:apache 0755
Also maybe worth mentioning: we have currently http basic auth in place to shield off visitors from the site as it is still being set up. I don’t feel like this should have anything to do with the backups not running, but I thought I’d mention it anyway.
Do you have any idea why these scheduled backups are failing?
Thanks,

I use your plugin in order to backup a site which has a form in it – It is viewed on an iPad (and has several entries every day) an the admin area is viewed on a PC.
Unfortunately, the daily scheduled backups do not accour – but “Backup now” button does work.
I went through the following article but couldn’t find a solution: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/my-scheduled-backups-do-nothing-backup-now-stops-midway/
I asked my host service and they said they don’t find any problem on their side.
Would appreciate your help.
