 * BackWPup has ceased working. It has successfully backed up 5 times since 2018.
   I have cleared all the old backups from Dropbox, so there’s plenty of space. 
   How can I resolve the persistent errors?
 * I@ve copied and pasted the latest log below:

   The old Dropbox API has been removed, please update the plugin to the latest 
   version then re-authenticate with Dropbox again. For more information, please
