Too many backups

Hi,

Can you please provide me the last 3 backup logs?
eg.
(UpdraftPlus 1.16.56) 2021-06-30 16:01
(UpdraftPlus 1.16.56) 2021-06-30 16:29
(UpdraftPlus 1.16.56) 2021-06-30 17:06

Thanks,
Bryle

Hi Bryle,

Sorry for the delay. I am not comfortable posting the original full logs due to the amount of personal information they contain.

The issue continues. Below is a portion of 3 log files from the 12th June.
I hope that they contain enough information to be useful to help diagnose the cause.

Thank you for your help.
Best Regards
