Can you also enable debug mode. Local host file permission should not be 777. It should be 0755. However I know for a fact that depending on your operating system you might not be able to change the permissions to 0755 locally. * Thank you * Thread Starter [someone02](https://wordpress.org/support/users/someone02/) * (@someone02) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backups-failed/#post-5986576) * localhost – it’s XAMPP on Windows i can’t change permission there )))) * because is the local host, it is not danger))) * can you explain what exactly is necessary to check the logs? and how can I do it on XAMPP? * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backups-failed/#post-5986579) * In regards to your live server log files.

I tried different settings. at first it was “2”, then, during the experiments with preservation of copies, put “0”. And drew attention that with the setting“ 0” all copies are retained without restriction. * 2. if I completely manually delete all copies in the directory, then I set any value greater than 0 (for example 2), the first two copies are stored correctly, and the third – will not overwrite the first, but just is not saved. * 3. during the tests I’ve created a lot of backups manually. and sometimes, one of the regular backups overwrite an existing one. But it very rarely happens and the cause is not yet clear. * 4. that everything ok 🙁 * ``` [04/08/2015 1:55 PM] - SUCCESS : Cronjob_Handler - Hourly cron handler got fired.
