 * I recently updated my wordpress and I got error messages. Although I believe 
   that GoDaddy updates will fix the problem they still wanted me to check with 
   my alternative backup options. I registered my wp blog with [https://wordpress.backup-technology.com/](https://wordpress.backup-technology.com/)
   and in going into my account, I noticed that under the backup option it is stated
   that information for my back up is NEVER?? Why is this and why am I not receiving
   regular backup? I thought I was…. Thank You [http://justbreatheaspiritualjourney.com](http://justbreatheaspiritualjourney.com)

 * Hi Geovanna,
 * Did you configure the plugin to backup? Did you run any manual backups to check
   it was configured correctly?
 * Looks like the plugin was never setup or never had a successful backup. One should
   always run a manual backup to verify config is correct and backups works. And
   backups should be checked periodically.

 * Hi GeovannaJardine,
 * It’s been a common thread to find people who are using and depending on plugins
   to completely and securely backup their wordpress.
 * Don’t get me wrong… some plugins work OK depending on your needs, but I do not
   recommend it, for several reasons.
 * I made a short video addressing the issue and provide you with a better solution:

 * After you watch it, please leave me your comments and feedback and if there is
   anything else I can do to help.
 * All the best,
