 *  It’s to do with the binary zip executable for creating zip files, UpdraftPlus,
   cant use/find it. However, it will use an alternative.
 * To stop the warning you can add the following to your wp-config.php
 * define(‘UPDRAFTPLUS_NO_BINZIP’, TRUE);

 * …same here, just saying… also all-inkl hosted websites. Every website is concerned,
   but only when backup is initiated automatically, strangely not, when initiating
   the backups manually… 
   I will use your “workaround”, thanks.
