 * Hi, I’m using Updraft to do backups but I keep getting an binary sql code error
   3 when it tries to back up the database. I’ve tried doing the backup in in two
   stages, the theme, plugins and uploads first then the database but I keep getting
   the error. My host has tried increasing the PHP.
 * The backup gets to Creating database backup (table: wp_posts) then the error 
   shows.
 * Can you tell me how to fix this?
 * Thanks,
    Mandy

 * Hi Mandy,
 * Apologies for the delay.
 * Please could you send us a copy of the latest backup log?
 * The contents will be too long to post here directly, but you can use an online
   service such as Pastebin, and post the link here.
