    Hello, thank you so much for reporting. It is really weird, the plugin tries to find an appropriate directory starting from system temporary dir, temporary uploads dir, wp-content/darwin-backup and then even a directory inside the plugin itself.

    Which hosting are you using ? Is it Windows-based hosting ?

    WBR,

    Was the plugin working for you previously ?

    Hi Aleksandre yes I have been using the plugin to back up regularly since I installed it .

    Plugin Author Aleksandr Guidrevitch

    (@aguidrevitch)

    Before installing 1.2.17 please download backups you might need, they might be lost after upgrade.

    May I also ask you to check permissions on wp-content/darwin-backup using FTP or your hosting panel and make sure the directory is writeable (eg 0755 or 0775 or 0777). It seems they were reset (write permissions was removed) in a way, not related to the plugin. It might happened for the following reasons:
    1. you might accidentally reset it, especially if you are working through FTP
    2. your hosting panel did it, either reset permissions, or changed owner or adjusted SELinux settings
    3. some staff of your hosting provider did it, either reset permissions or changed owner or adjusted SELinux settings
    4. it was reset during your server upgrade , either reset permissions or changed owner, or adjusted SELinux settings

    Before procceding further, please make sure you cannot fix permissions manually, if you happen to know how to do it.

    I’ve just rolled out 1.2.17 which will try to fix permissions on your default backup directory. If it is a permission problem it might be fixed by the plugin, or might not. If owner changed – you will probably be able to change owner back using your hosting panel. If SELinux settings changed – there is nothing we can do about that, but select different backup directory (wp-content/uploads/darwin-backup most probably). If different backup directory will be selected, you will lose access to your old backups, this is why I asked to download your backups in the first place.

    Thank you so much for your help and please let me know how it went

    WBR,
    Alex

    Hi Aleksandr
    I have looked in wp-content darwin-backup and there are no files i can see marked as “directory” I have taken a couple of screen shots of the files, is there any way i can send them to you? as i can’t attach them to the support message.
    Regards

    I Have looked in the Index file but it just says access denied.

    Thread Starter alangarbett

    (@alangarbett)

    Ive also tried downloading the 3 backups i have, and i get error message.
    502 Bad Gateway and i can’t download them.
    I asked my server people in the last week to raise my php version to 5.6.22 could this have affected things? Im sorry Aleksandr but I’m no expert at this.

    Hello Alan,

    If you are willing to give me access to fix things for you, feel free to write me directly to [email protected].

    Hello Alan,

    This must be addressed in the 1.2.18. The plugin will use plugin’s own folder if wp-content and wp-content/uploads are not writable or not safe. However, plugin’s folder gets removed with each plugin upgrade, so you will have a persistent warning about that, if plugin’s folder is selected for storing backups

    WBR,
    Alex
