Title: Again broken Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Again broken * Resolved [NUCUTA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cuta/) * (@cuta) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/) * This plugin may seriously have a huge bug or something which has yet to be fixed. Since the last update, at first it kept backing up one after another simultaneously. Yeah it showed like 5 progress bars in the same time when I started backing up the site. This increases both the RAM and the CPU usage. My site is a very small, yet it consumes nearly 1GB for backing up the file. It never happened before that. then I reduced the split archive size to 25MB, it worked for a couple of days, then again now it shows the same issue. In sometimes, it automatically starts backing up files. I set all the settings to manual, not automatic. I uninstalled the plugin, deactivated, wiped the settings but none of them are working. I noticed that since I installed this plugin, the average RAM usage of my site rose to 500MB whereas without this it was always under 100MB. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [NUCUTA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cuta/) * (@cuta) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-7599123) * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/IDW9cu2) * Thread Starter [NUCUTA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cuta/) * (@cuta) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-7599124) * Why it starts backing up the site twice? If I increased the split archive size to 400MB, it will jump to 5 whilst increasing both the RAM and the CPU usage. Yeah this plugin indeed has a HUGE bug. I think most of people are not aware of this. * Thread Starter [NUCUTA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cuta/) * (@cuta) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-7599125) * See again it starts another backup instance. [http://i.imgur.com/Tmaeq7d.png](http://i.imgur.com/Tmaeq7d.png) It keeps backing the site one after another,nonstop. * Plugin Author [David Anderson / Team Updraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidanderson/) * (@davidanderson) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-7599244) * I notice that the backups are exactly 5 minutes apart. I wonder if something on the network between your browser and server repeats the “start backup” request. * Try starting a backup, then close the browser tab with UpdraftPlus on it. Re- open it 10 minutes later. How many backups started? * David * Thread Starter [NUCUTA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cuta/) * (@cuta) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-7599251) * why it shows bandwidth usage? I didn’t set the files to upload to a remote server, yet it shows the bandwidth is used for backing up the files. do you download our data into your website to process them or something?

[http://i.imgur.com/NFlTOyi.png](http://i.imgur.com/NFlTOyi.png) but at least it’s working. thanks. * Thread Starter [NUCUTA](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cuta/) * (@cuta) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-7599256) * I dunno why since the update is completed, the ram is still at 300MB. It didn’t go below like in other times 🙁 The average ram consumption for my site is just 20MB to 60MB. * Plugin Author [David Anderson / Team Updraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidanderson/) * (@davidanderson) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-7599314) * You can get less memory usage by using a different zip engine; put this in your wp-config.php: * define(‘UPDRAFTPLUS_NO_BINZIP’, true); * David * [planethurf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/planethurf/) * (@planethurf) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-8258270) * I’m having the same issue – getting 2 or 3 backups, exactly 5 minutes apart. Is there a definitive solution? * FYI: I have always left the browser window open during this process and I backup to Google Drive * About to try different zip engine as above.

If you close the browser, it doesn’t happen; and if you look in the Apache logs, you see a second HTTP request, 5 minutes later. Does it happen in every web browser, and in no-extensions mode? If so, then it’s not something in the browser but in the network. * David Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Again broken’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/updraftplus/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=1686200) * [UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/reviews/) * 10 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [David Anderson / Team Updraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidanderson/) * Last activity: [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/again-broken/#post-8258438) * Status: resolved
