 * Before, I used to backup my site everyday, and there’s no error. But, now, when
   I do backup, it says : backup completed with error message. And then, i have 
   this message : binary zip: error (code -1). I’ve tried to do the backup manually
   but nothing changes. I verified the backup and saw that all my files are there
   but with the error message. And sometimes, I can’t do my backup. What should 
   I do ?

 * Hello,
 * Please could you share one of the log files from a failed backup via [pastebin.com](http://www.pastebin.com)?
   Usually the binary zip error is the result of not being able to find a specific
   utility in /usr/bin/zip but it will use an alternative.
