 * It used to work well when i had multisite w/ updraft for multisite.
    Now I’ve
   disabled it, and i have single site w/ updraft basic, where i set the schedule
   for D/B backups, and no matter which time i set (ever 1hr/2hr ETC.) the next 
   d/b update schedule doesnt update, nor happens.
 * help! 🙁

 * Hi,
 * Please could you send us a copy of the backup log?
    This can be found in the 
   UpdraftPlus Existing Backups tab. The contents will be too long to post here 
   directly, but you can use an online service such as Dropbox or Pastebin, and 
   post the link here.

 * Hi,
 * Apologies for the delay.
 * Did the backup run today by any chance?
    If still not, it sounds like your WordPress
   scheduler may be broken. To confirm this, can you install a plugin called [WP-Crontrol](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/)?
   This will allow you to see all scheduled tasks that WordPress is handling. Then
   could you navigate to Tools->Cron Events and check if the scheduler is working
   correctly.
