 * Are backup.php processes a WP thing?
    My sites resources are limited. A2 hosting
   says it is because I have a long line of backup.php processes making too many
   demands on resources. They also sent me to a Knowledgebase article that told 
   me how to monitor resources but not how to fix the problem.
 * Can anyone tell me if this is a WP problem or something else, or maybe just how
   to fix it or where to go to ask how to fix it.
 * A2 is not going to help.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbackup-php-processes-overloading-site%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This sounds like a problem with a backup plugin the problem is most of the common
   backup plugins all have a file called backup.php so it is hard to pinpoint what
   the problem could be exactly.

 * Yeah, somethign went wrong with Updraft. I set it to Fortnightly updates but 
   it scheduled a bunch of backups anyway. OR Updraft interacted with something 
   else and together they did something weird.
    I am not sure what happened but 
   don’t want to blame the backup program without real proof.

 * Best if you get help from updraft support if you’re still experiencing issues.
