 * Log file shows AUTH_KEY error which stops backup. Was working ok before plugin
   update.
    Have uninstalled plugin and re-installed, same problem.
 * I am developing my site on Local.

 * Hi [@eddieffc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eddieffc/)
 * My apologies for delayed reply.
 * This error is related to incomplete and wp-config.php file.
    Your site does not
   have security configuration in place.
 * Our plugin also uses this for restoration in order to perform automatic log in.
 * There is fortunately simple fix for that.
 * You can read more about this there:
    [https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/wp-config-php/#security-keys](https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/wp-config-php/#security-keys)
 * And generate your unique and secure keys there:
    [https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/](https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/)
 * Simply copy and paste them at the top of your wp-config.php file.
 * Let me know if that resolves your issue 🙂
    Thank you!
