 * I just saw this come up again this morning with another ticket – are you able
   to give me any further information about what is happening at the same time –
   do backups stall out completely?
 * Thanks!

 * For anyone looking – I have this listed on Github, here: [https://github.com/humanmade/backupwordpress/issues/1057](https://github.com/humanmade/backupwordpress/issues/1057)
 * As it is possibly related to an issue they thought was fixed already, can you
   verify for me:
 * 1. Are you still having the same problem with the newest version (3.6.1)?
    2.
   Does the backup still run despite the error or not? 3. Are you on a Windows server
   by chance?
 * Thanks,
    Kat

 * Hey there – if you are still experiencing issues and want to work through more
   troubleshooting, please let me know and we can reopen this ticket.
 * Anyone else having this issue please start a new topic on the support forums,
   okay?
 * Thanks so much and I’m going to mark this resolved pending further notice.
