 * The message says that PHP couldn’t open the file `wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/
   methods/backup-module.php`, which is part of UpdraftPlus. Does that file exist
   in your installation?

 * No, that file doesn’t exist David.
 * But it said somewhere that UpDraftPlus had not been updated for 3 months so I’m
   not sure where it went.

 * Can you please download the UpdraftPlus plugin zip file from [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/updraftplus.1.23.1.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/updraftplus.1.23.1.zip)
   and replace it with wp-content/plugins/updraftplus by using a file manager or
   uploading it to the Admin Dashboard > Plugins > Add New?

 * I got the message below this morning that UpDraftPlus had updated automatically
   and now when I log in, everything is working fine!
 * These plugins are now up to date: – UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore (from version
   1.22.24 to 1.23.1) :
 * I wonder if that was just luck or if there was some wider issue that the update
   resolved.
 * But just thought to say in case others report it.
 * Thanks for your help,
 * Peter
