 * Hi,
    I have just noticed an error message appear within the plugin details. It
   says
 * “php: ZipArchive::close(): Read error: No such file or directory, /home1/justouts/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress/classes/backup/class-backup-engine-
   file-zip-archive.php, 46”
    AND another message
 * “Zip: zip warning: No such file or directory”
    I’m not sure what I need to do
 * Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks, Martina

 * THe files are missing. Either your hard drive is failing, you have been hacked,
   or there is some other failure.
 * Uninstall and reinstall.
    If it keeps recurring, install, rename the directory
   to something like .foo and install again. Check your server logs.
