 * My backups have been working fine until today as I’m getting this error:
 * **ERROR: Dropbox API: (500) Internal Server Error**
 * I’ve broken down the backup and cleared my Dropbox – still nothing.
 * Anyone know how this could be resolved?

 * Sorry, but the “(500) Internal Server Error” cames from the Dropbox servers. 
   Best thing to do is be patient and give it another try.
