    I just updated BackWPup to 3.01 for a couple of my WP sites and it seemed to work for a large backup (although it took about 8 hours!) and also for a smaller site, but this 3rd site is now giving the errors below (and of course, no backups):
    (I’ve replaced specifics with placeholders in <brackets> )
    Any help would be appreciated! Please let me know when this (otherwise excellent) plugin is fixed. THANKS! ??

    Thanks, chrispix. I checked the Settings > Info tab, and it showed Blog charset as UTF-8. I checked wp-config.php, and DB_CHARSET wasn’t defined. I added define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); and ran a backup, and it worked!

    @chrispix – when I look in de wp-options tabel, the blog_charset is set tuo UTF-8

    In my last post, I said that I added define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); to wp-config.php and ran a backup, and it worked. However, I later noticed that many of the characters on my site (in Spanish posts) were messed up. So, I commented the DB_CHARSET out of wp-config.php again. The Codex article Converting Database Character Sets appears beyond my ability to follow, so I’m looking for other options.

    My BackWPup Settings > Information tab shows MySQL Client encoding: DB_CHARSET and Blog charset: UTF-8. When I look at the tables in phpMyAdmin, they have collation utf8_general_ci or latin1_swedish_ci (only for a few of the Wordfence plugin tables).

    ok. i hae improved it again for next update.

    Looking forward to the new update, i’m really nervous to change my char set!

    Version 3.0.7 fixed this for me, on the 2 sites that were having the problem.
