In that case I think we’ll just have to chalk it up to something about my setup that it objects to which will remain a bit of a mystery. Thank you for taking the time to respond though and offer some suggestions

Only other thing I can think, I had 3 sites set to back up to the same dropbox account, does the plugin have any known issues with using the same destination for more than one backup source?

James

I obviously can’t speak as to what the plugin was or was not doing behind the scenes, I can only speak of what I experienced. The performance issues I’ve mentioned were present when I wasn’t on the UD status page, they were present when I wasn’t even logged in to the WP admin panel (I struggled to even get to the login page), and the issues vanished immediately when I finally got in and deactivated the plugin on all sites. Maybe it was conflicting with something else, or maybe something about the way my host has the server set up was objecting to it, I honestly don’t know, all I know is that my sites were practically unusable when it was installed on them all, and have been running normally since I removed it

Hi, thanks for the response, I fully understand that if backups were running simultaneously that it would indeed affect performance. The major performance issues I encountered however were present when the plugin wasn’t doing anything, no running backups, just idle in the background. Deactivating the plugin on all sites immediately brought them back to normal running speed so I can only assume it was struggling to cope with being installed on multiple sites within the same shared host environment

Ah cool, did have a quick look at the code before as I’ve editted themes and plugins before, but I only have a relatively basic understanding of php so couldn’t decide which line was specifying the permalinks, thanks for letting me know

Awesome plugin BTW, does precisely what I needed and much more neatly and easy to manage than I had anticipated ??

Cheers

Issue resolved, I use a plugin to display flickr albums that has inbuilt lightbox effect on the thumbnails and this was conflicting with my new theme’s thumbnail display settings, Firefox was happy to just sort this out by itself but IE couldn’t handle it until I changed the plugin settings to not try and use lightbox
